useBattery

A hook that provides access to the device’s battery information through the Battery Status API. Perfect for implementing power-aware features and battery status indicators.

Parameters

This hook doesn’t take any parameters.

Returns

• supported: boolean - Whether the Battery Status API is supported
• loading: boolean - Whether the battery information is being fetched
• level: number | null - Battery level from 0 to 1
• charging: boolean | null - Whether the device is currently charging
• chargingTime: number | null - Seconds until battery is fully charged
• dischargingTime: number | null - Seconds until battery is fully discharged

Usage

import { useBattery } from '@rhinolabs/react-hooks';

function BatteryStatus() {
  const {
    supported,
    loading,
    level,
    charging,
    chargingTime,
    dischargingTime
  } = useBattery();

  if (!supported) {
    return <div>Battery status not supported</div>;
  }

  if (loading) {
    return <div>Loading battery status...</div>;
  }

  return (
    <div>
      <div>Battery Level: {(level! * 100).toFixed(0)}%</div>
      <div>
        Status: {charging ? 'Charging' : 'Not charging'}
      </div>
      {charging ? (
        <div>Full charge in: {Math.round(chargingTime! / 60)} minutes</div>
      ) : (
        <div>Time remaining: {Math.round(dischargingTime! / 60)} minutes</div>
      )}
    </div>
  );
}

Notes

• Uses Battery Status API with browser support detection
• Real-time updates with automatic state management
• Type-safe nullability for all battery properties
• Handles loading states and error boundaries
• Implements automatic event listener cleanup
