->**DEPRECATED**  
->This method is obsolete, use `useMountedState` instead.

-Lifecycle hook that tracks if component is mounted. Returns a ref, which has a
-boolean `.current` property.

-import {useRefMounted} from 'react-use';
-
-const Demo = () => {
-  const refMounted = useRefMounted();
-
-  useEffect(() => {
-    setTimeout(() => {
-      if (refMounted.current) {
-        // ...
-      } else {
-        // ...
-      }
