useEvent is a custom React hook that is used to listen for and handle events. It is not a built-in hook in React, so it is likely that it was created by the developer of the codebase you are working on.

The useEvent hook takes two arguments: the event type and a callback function to be executed when the event is triggered. It returns a function that can be used to remove the event listener.

Here is an example of how useEvent might be used:

import { useEvent } from '../customHooks';

function MyComponent() {
  const handleResize = () => {
    console.log('Window was resized!');
  };
  useEvent('resize', handleResize);

  return
My component
;
}

In this example, the useEvent hook is being used to listen for the resize event on the window object, and the handleResize function will be called whenever the window is resized.
