A bit late to the party but I decided to create my own one after looking at @Alex Macmillan answers and that was by passing two extra parameters; the position in which to place the scripts such as or and setting up the async to true/false, here it is:
import { useEffect } from 'react';
const useScript = (url, position, async) => {
useEffect(() => {
const placement = document.querySelector(position);
const script = document.createElement('script');
script.src = url;
script.async = typeof async === 'undefined' ? true : async;
placement.appendChild(script);
return () => {
placement.removeChild(script);
};
}, [url]);
};
export default useScript;
The way to call it is exactly the same as shown in the accepted answer of this post but with two extra(again) parameters:
// First string is your URL
// Second string can be head or body
// Third parameter is true or false.
useScript("string", "string", bool);
