The only API that works well and give you all the flexibility is the one that the browser exposes. If you stick to something that is close to how the browser behaves, you should be fine. In the React ecosystem I have seen that people sometimes want to abstract too much with no real pragmatic advantages. The result is that the abstraction become verbose to use and get in the way for coding things that produce a better user experience. Things that used to be simple to build. Keep it simple. Make it more complex only when it is necessary.
