usePerson

One person from a cache made with createPeopleCache, for a component that shows them, such as an avatar or a message's author: their entry, read while the component shows it and again whenever it runs out. Pass null or undefined while the id is not known; the entry is then unknown, and nothing is read. The server renders the unknown entry, and so does hydration, before the cache's entry replaces it.

import { usePerson } from "@/lib/ouro/use-person";

Example

const photo = usePerson(photos, message.authorId);
const name = usePerson(names, message.authorId);
return <Avatar name={name.value ?? message.authorName} src={photo.value} />;

Parameters

cache
Type: PeopleCache<T>
id
Type: string | null | undefined

Returns

PersonEntry<T>
