react-script-hook

A React hook for dynamically loading external scripts and tracking their load state. Current stable version is 1.7.2. The package is actively maintained with regular updates. It provides a simple API: call useScript with a script URL and get loading/error states. Key differentiators: automatic deduplication (multiple components loading the same script share a single request), support for onload callbacks, a checkForExisting flag for environments where the script may already be present, and conditionally loading by setting src to null. Includes TypeScript definitions and supports React 16.8.6 through 18.
