Praise for Honkify.js

Nobody asked for this. – Jessica Tremblay

This is the worst thing you have ever done. – E.J. Mason

What does Honkify do?

When activated, all links and buttons on the site will stop working, instead triggering a “honk!” sound effect.

This is not transpiled and not tested on any browsers except Chrome latest, because this is a silly joke and therefore honk honk honk!

Installation and Quick Start

yarn add honkify

In your code:

import honkify from 'honkify';

// The goose is loose!
const unregister = honkify();

// Disable so links work again
unregister();

Hook

You can also use the handy React Hook (or React Honk?) to make any event handler honkable

import useHonk from 'honkify/useHonk';

const onClick = (isLoose) => {
  console.log(`goose is ${isLoose ? 'loose' : 'STILL LOOSE'}`);
}

function App() {
  const honkify = useHonk();
  const onClickHonkified = honkify(onClick);
  
  return (
    <h1 onClick={() => onClickHonkified(true)}>Sure, the header is honked too!</h1>
  )
}

Disclaimer: please don’t actually use this.

Or, if you do, make sure it’s easy to toggle off. Geese may be jerks, but developers shouldn’t be.
