Feature request: Provide an isLoading boolean in the options object returned by the hook

[iamgrid]

isLoading should be false to begin with and only flip to true when:

• 'value' was read from localStorage, parsed and ready to use,
• [or if no localStorage value was present on the user's device] when the default has successfully been saved and loaded into 'value'
• [or if localStorage is erroring] when the fallback is good to go and the default has been loaded into 'value'

Thank you for considering this feature request! :)

That's an interesting feature idea. I'll ponder with it a bit and post any updates here. Thanks!

Hey, sorry for the delay. It got me so long because I like the idea but it doesn't quite fit. I think isLoading is either not the right name or not the right abstraction. I feel like something like state: 'loading' | 'error' | 'hydrating' would work better. However, this would introduce a bigger bundle size for the package and I need to understand the use cases before deciding.

Are you willing to share what need did you want to solve with the isLoading property? I guess you wanted to present some UX to the user based on the isLoading value?
