# useResize

A small abstraction around the [`useSpring`](/docs/components/use-spring) hook. It returns a `SpringValues`
object with the `width` and `height` of the element it's attached to & doesn't necessarily have to be attached
to the window, by passing a `container` you can observe that element's size instead.

## Usage

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

function MyComponent() {
  const { width, height } = useResize()

  return <animated.div style={{ width, height }}>Hello World</animated.div>
}
```

## Reference

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

<TablesConfiguration data={USE_RESIZE_CONFIG_DATA} />

## Typescript

```tsx
function useResize(configuration: ConfigObject): SpringValues
```
