react-use-date

Have you ever used new Date() in React code, but noticed it didn't update?

The current time is: 2023-05-24T20:34:52.903Z

Instead, try using useDate():

import useDate from "react-use-date";

const Clock = () => {
  const date = useDate();

  return <div>The current time is: {date.toISOString()}</div>;
};
The current time is: 2023-05-24T20:34:52.904Z
