I searched for "usePrevious react typescript" and this just saved me some headaches. Thanks!
Thank you for using my code. However, I suggest you use the revised version just updated a moment ago. I replaced the return type T with T | undefined. Because usePrevious() function will return undefined when the first time to use it.
Nice! Thank you so much!
nice
