reorder useWebSocket return values?

  const [sendMessage, lastMessage, readyState] = useWebSocket(socketUrl);

I would assume first value reflects the state and the second one would be a callback

Examples:

const [state, setState] = useState(initialState);
...
const [state, dispatch] = useReducer(...);

That’s my gut feeling, but I’m not sure if it is a convention In this case, there are several states so it’s a bit unclear what the value should be

How about?:

  const [{data, status}, sendMessage] = useWebSocket(socketUrl);

This is a good suggestion, and in hindsight I probably should have done that from the get-go. For now, I worry about the implications of changing the order as it will break current usage. That said, I plan on bumping to v1 once I’ve had time to test this in a project I’m working on, and would be more comfortable introducing breaking changes in a major version bump.

I will leave the issue open, and if more people chime in with support, I might expedite the change.

Also supporting idea to return object instead of the array from the hook
