react-use-date
Have you ever used new Date() in React code, but noticed it didn't update?
The current time is: 2026-02-13T03:42:00.971Z
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: 2026-02-13T03:42:03.000Z
