useDefault is a helpful custom React hook designed to manage stateful values with a default fallback when the value is set to null or undefined.
This hook is particularly useful when you need to maintain state values that might be reset or cleared, but should fall back to a predefined default rather than being null or undefined.
Current value
10
10
Initial: 10 | Default: 0 | Custom: 5
Note: When setting to null or undefined, the hook automatically falls back to the default value (0).
