useSendEmailVerification hook

useSendEmailVerification hook is used to send email verification to a user. A very simple example would be:

const { dispatch } = useSendEmailVerification(auth);
await dispatch();

Warning

useSendEmailVerification is lazy by default and will not do anything until you use dispatch function.

You can also get the state of the process.

const { state, dispatch } = useSendEmailVerification(auth);
await dispatch();
// `state` is "ready" | "loading" | "done" | "anonymous"

Warning

useSendEmailVerification automatically listens to authentication state and will be "anonymous" if the user has not signed in. In "anonymous" state (or any state other than "ready" to be exact), dispatch will simply do nothing even if it is invoked.
