Create synchronized replicas of a React DOM element

> Suggested alternative for non react usage [mirror-element](https://github.com/iamogbz/oh-my-wcs/blob/main/components/el-mirror.md)

## Usage

See equivalent uses of the hook and component below.

### `useMirror` hook

```jsx

import { useMirror } from 'react-mirror';

function App() {

  const [ref, mirror] = useMirror({ className: 'mirror-frame' });

  return (

    <>

      


      {mirror}

    >

  );

}

```


### `` component

```jsx

import React from 'react';

import { Mirror } from 'react-mirror';

function App() {

  const [reflect, setReflect] = React.useState(null);

  return (

    <>

      


      

    >

  );

}

```


### `` component

You can also render a reflection, with all the styles needed, in a separate window using the magic of [`Portals`](https://reactjs.org/docs/portals.html) 🌀

```jsx

import React from 'react';

import { FrameStyles, Reflection, Window } from 'react-mirror';

function App() {

  const [reflect, setReflect] = React.useState(null);

  return (

    <>

      


      

        

        

      

    >

  );

}

```


## Demos

### Using Portals

- [Live Preview](https://ogbizi.com/react-mirror/) ([source](demo))

## Alternatives

- Simple HTML custom [mirror-element](https://github.com/iamogbz/oh-my-wcs/blob/main/components/el-mirror.md)
