        Route components here, depending on how your app is structured.
        If using Next.js this would be /pages/_app.js
      */}

// Any component that wants auth state
import React from "react";
import { useAuth } from "./use-auth.js";

It would be great to add a note for those who have an infinite loop to use useCallback on api functions : in my app I created an api loader and in the dependency list the linter always asks for my function in it, but when setting the user the function is recreated so is my loader and it creates an infinite loop.

Should the useProvideAuth hook wrap all the provided functions in useCallback? If not… why?
