Lifecycle

Part of the Frontend Developer Roadmap

In short

The stages a component goes through — mounting, updating, unmounting — and the hooks (`useEffect`) that let you run code at each stage in function components.

How to learn this

  1. 1Log messages in `useEffect` with different dependency arrays to see mount/update/unmount behavior.
  2. 2Compare lifecycle methods in class components to `useEffect` in function components.
  3. 3Learn the cleanup function returned from `useEffect` and when it runs.
