What problem does it solve?

Traditional React hooks cannot be called conditionally, limiting flexibility for async data fetching and dynamic context access. React 19's use() hook overcomes this, enabling more expressive and flexible component logic.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Read Promises: Suspend component rendering until a Promise resolves, integrating seamlessly with Suspense boundaries.
• Conditional Context Access: Access context values inside if statements, loops, or after early returns, a capability not possible with useContext.
• Suspense Integration: Automatically handles loading states when reading Promises, reducing boilerplate.
• Error Boundary Compatibility: Works with Error Boundaries for robust error handling in async operations.
• Use Case: Refactor a component to fetch user data using use(promise) and display a loading state with Suspense, ensuring proper error handling with an Error Boundary.

Quick Start

Modify the UserProfile component in src/components/UserProfile.js to fetch user data using use(userPromise) and wrap it in a Suspense boundary.
