useTVEventHandler

React Hook for subscribing to TV remote events.

useTVEventHandler provides a declarative wrapper around TVEventHandler.addListener. The subscription is created on mount and removed automatically on unmount.

import { useTVEventHandler } from 'react-native';

function Screen() {
  useTVEventHandler((event) => {
    if (event.eventType === 'left') {
      // handle left navigation intent
    }
  });

  return null;
}
