A helper hook to remember values by deep equality

So of course every React hook enthusiast will have had a use-case for a deep (structural) equality check on the dependencies argument, at a certain point in time. Instead of crafting these things every time you need them, or importing a helper library, here's a wonderfully simple helper hook to help you out:

import { useRef } from "react";
import isEqual from "react-fast-compare";

export default function remember<T>(value: T): T {
  const ref = useRef<T>(value);
  if (!isEqual(value, ref.current)) {
    ref.current = value;
  }
  return ref.current;
}

You can use it like this:

const something = useMemo(expensiveComputation, [ remember(input) ]);

Isn't that just lovely? :D
