[Suggestion] useScript

[curtvict]

I'm curious if the community would find this change to the call signature of useScript at all useful:

function useScript(src: string, shouldLoad: boolean = true, removeOnUnmount: boolean = false): Status { ... }

shouldLoad could be used for something, like, an environment or privacy flag:

useScript('//some-script.js', isProduction) // or
useScript('//some-script.js', !isTest) // or
useScript('//some-script.js', user.isAnonymous)

removeOnUnmount could be used to remove the created script when the component calling useScript unmounts. Examples could be "one-shot" third party scripts that someone might just want to be present for a specific page of the app. Something like a HubSpot form that serves a specific use case, like Signing Up for an account.

If these sound like good ideas I'm happy to open a PR making the aforementioned changes.

Hi @curtvict,
Yeah, it's a cool idea, I'll be happy to review your PR.

What about a signature like this ?

interface UseScriptOptions {
  shouldLoad?: boolean
  removeOnUnmount?: boolean
}

useScript(src: string, options?: UseScriptOptions): Status { ... }
