Kamod Hooks – a Preact hooks library ported from ahooks

Kamod Hooks is a Preact hooks library that ports functionality from the popular ahooks library, providing a collection of useful React hooks for Preact applications.

Background

- **Preact** is a fast, lightweight alternative to React (the popular JavaScript UI library). It offers the same modern API but in a much smaller package. - **Hooks** are reusable functions (like `useState` or `useEffect`) that let developers add state and lifecycle behavior to functional components without writing classes. - **ahooks** is a well-known, production-grade React hooks library from China (by Alibaba's front-end team), offering dozens of high-quality hooks for common scenarios like state management, DOM manipulation, and async logic. - **Kamod Hooks** is a port of ahooks specifically for Preact. Because Preact aims for React compatibility but isn't identical, some hooks need adjustment. This project re-implements those ahooks patterns so Preact developers can use them without friction. - **Why it matters**: Preact has a growing ecosystem, but it often lags behind React's library support. Kamod Hooks fills that gap, letting Preact users leverage a mature hooks collection without waiting for separate maintenance.
