How to use the useHover hook for detecting hover events in Next.js

In Next.js, you can use the useHover hook to detect hover events. The useHover hook is not a built-in hook in Next.js or React, but you can create a custom hook to achieve this functionality. Here's a simple example of how you can create and use a useHover hook:

jsxCopy code
import { useState, useEffect, useRef } from 'react';

const useHover = () => {
  const [isHovered, setIsHovered] = useState(false);
  const targetRef = useRef(null);

  const handleMouseEnter = () => {
    setIsHovered(true);
  };

  const handleMouseLeave = () => {
    setIsHovered(false);
  };

  useEffect(() => {
    const target = targetRef.current;

    if (target) {
      target.addEventListener('mouseenter', handleMouseEnter);
      target.addEventListener('mouseleave', handleMouseLeave);

      return () => {
        target.removeEventListener('mouseenter', handleMouseEnter);
        target.removeEventListener('mouseleave', handleMouseLeave);
      };
    }
  }, [targetRef]);

  return [targetRef, isHovered];
};

// Example usage in a component
const MyComponent = () => {
  const [hoverRef, isHovered] = useHover();

  return (
    <div ref={hoverRef}>
      {isHovered ? 'Hovered!' : 'Not Hovered'}
    </div>
  );
};

export default MyComponent;

In this example:

1. The useHover hook returns a ref (targetRef) that you need to attach to the element you want to monitor for hover events.
2. The isHovered state variable tracks whether the element is currently being hovered.
3. Event listeners for mouseenter and mouseleave are added to the element using the useEffect hook.
4. The event listeners update the isHovered state accordingly.

Now, when you use the useHover hook in a component, you'll get a ref that you attach to the element you want to monitor, and the isHovered variable will tell you whether the element is currently being hovered or not.
