# refManualReset

Create a ref with manual reset functionality.

## Usage

```ts
import { refManualReset } from '@vueuse/core';

const message = refManualReset('default message');

message.value = 'message has set';

message.reset();

console.log(message.value); // 'default message'
```

## Type Declarations

```ts
/**
 * Define the shape of a ref that supports manual reset functionality.
 *
 * This interface extends the standard `Ref` type from Vue and adds a `reset` method.
 * The `reset` method allows the ref to be manually reset to its default value.
 */
export interface ManualResetRefReturn<T> extends Ref<T> {
  reset: Fn;
}
/**
 * Create a ref with manual reset functionality.
 *
 * @see https://vueuse.org/refManualReset
 * @param defaultValue The value which will be set.
 */
export declare function refManualReset<T>(
  defaultValue: MaybeRefOrGetter<T>,
): ManualResetRefReturn<T>;
```
