npm i @accessible/use-conditional-focus

---

A React hook that will focus elements conditionally. By default this will focus on the first focusable child of the provided root element, but you can optionally include the root as well.

Quick Start

import * as React from 'react'
import useConditionalFocus from '@accessible/use-conditional-focus'

const Component = () => {
  const ref = React.useRef(null)
  const [visible, setVisible] = React.useState(false)
  // Focuses the first focusable child in the `ref` element when
  // visible is `true`
  useConditionalFocus(ref, visible)

  return (
    <div>
      <div ref={ref}>
        // This button will be focused when `visible` is true
        <button onClick={() => setVisible(false)}>Close me</button>
      </div>
      <button onClick={() => setVisible(true)}>Click me</button>
    </div>
  )
}
