# Remove reaction

> Remove the authenticated user's reaction from an entity or comment

## Overview

`useRemoveReaction` is a low-level hook that removes the authenticated user's current reaction. For most use cases, use [`useReactionToggle`](/hooks/reactions/use-reaction-toggle) instead.

<Note>Requires an authenticated user.</Note>

## Usage Example

```tsx theme={null}
import { useRemoveReaction } from "@replyke/react-js";

function RemoveReactionButton({ entityId }: { entityId: string }) {
  const removeReaction = useRemoveReaction();

  const handle = async () => {
    await removeReaction({ targetType: "entity", targetId: entityId });
  };

  return <button onClick={handle}>Remove Reaction</button>;
}
```

## Parameters

<ParamField path="targetType" type="&#x22;entity&#x22; | &#x22;comment&#x22;" required>
  The type of the reaction target.
</ParamField>

<ParamField path="targetId" type="string" required>
  The ID of the entity or comment.
</ParamField>

## Returns

<ResponseField name="Entity | Comment" type="Entity | Comment">
  The updated entity or comment with the reaction removed (`userReaction: null` and decremented counts).
</ResponseField>
