Old version:

import {useRef, useEffect} from 'react';
import _isObject from 'lodash/isObject';
import {useConstructor} from 'Hooks';

const useThis = (initialThis) => {

    if (!_isObject(initialThis)) {
        initialThis = {};
    }

    const renderCount = useRef(0);

    const {current} = useRef(initialThis);

    useConstructor(() => {
        current._isFirstRender = true;
    });

    useEffect(() => {
        renderCount.current++;
        current._isFirstRender = renderCount.current < 2;
    });

    return current;
};

export {useThis};
