To start using this hook, you need to import it into your project:

import React from 'react';import { useSetState } from 'react-hooks-kit';
const Component = () => {  const { state, setState } = useSetState({ type: 'text', data: 'some text' });
  // State before changes  console.log(state); // { type: 'text', data: 'some text' }
  // Button component  <button onClick={() => setState({ data: 'some updated text' })}>Update the data</button>
  // State after changes  console.log(state); // { type: 'text', data: 'some updated text' }};
