# useSpringValue

Love the imperative API but you need _too many_ different springs running in parallel? Then this
hook is for you! It's a simple wrapper around a [`SpringValue`](/docs/components/spring-value) and
therefore behaves the same, so you can access it's methods imperatively.

## Usage

### Value only

```tsx
import { useSpringValue, animated } from '@react-spring/web'

function MyComponent() {
  const opacity = useSpringValue(0)

  return <animated.div style={{ opacity }}>Hello World</animated.div>
}
```

### With configuration

```tsx
import { useSpringValue, animated } from '@react-spring/web'

function MyComponent() {
  const opacity = useSpringValue(0, {
    config: {
      mass: 2,
      friction: 5,
      tension: 80,
    },
  })

  return <animated.div style={{ opacity }}>Hello World</animated.div>
}
```

## Updating

:::warning
Unlike our other hooks, this one **will not** react to updates in the component. This is by design.
You **must** use the methods on the returned `SpringValue` to update said value.
:::

```tsx
import { useSpringValue, animated } from '@react-spring/web'

function MyComponent() {
  const opacity = useSpringValue(0, {
    config: {
      mass: 2,
      friction: 5,
      tension: 80,
    },
  })

  const handleClick = () => opacity.start(1)

  return (
    <animated.div onClick={handleClick} style={{ opacity }}>
      Hello World
    </animated.div>
  )
}
```

## Reference

import { TablesConfiguration } from '../components/Tables/TablesConfig'
import { USESPRINGVALUE_CONFIG_DATA } from '../data/fixtures'

<TablesConfiguration data={USESPRINGVALUE_CONFIG_DATA} />

## Typescript

```tsx
function useSpringValue<T>(value: T): SpringValue<T>

function useSpringValue<T>(value: T, config: ConfigObject): SpringValue<T>
```

Where `ConfigObject` is described [above](#reference)

## Examples
