Adding Liveblocks to existing useState hooks

You can easily add Liveblocks to an existing useState hook by broadcasting and listening to events.

import { useState } from "react";import { useBroadcastEvent, useEventListener } from "./liveblocks.config";
function useCustomState() {  const [state, setState] = useState();  const broadcast = useBroadcastEvent();
  // Update useState and broadcast an event  const setStateAndBroadcast = (newValue) => {    setState(newValue);    broadcast({ type: "STATE_UPDATE", data: newValue });  };
  // Listen for the broadcast event  useEventListener(({ event }) => {    if (event.type === "STATE_UPDATE") {      setState(event.data);    }  });
  return [state, setStateAndBroadcast];}
