Context-Aware Time in React

Client-side clocks are often manipulated or incorrect. This custom hook ensures your application initializes with a trusted server timestamp, preventing UX glitches and hydration mismatches.

REACT
import { useState, useEffect } from 'react';

export const useTemporalContext = () => {
  const [ctx, setCtx] = useState(null);

  useEffect(() => {
    fetch('https://time.you/developer/api/ip')
      .then(r => r.json())
      .then(d => setCtx(d))
      .catch(e => console.warn('Temporal Sync Failed', e));
  }, []);

  return ctx;
};
