react hooks replace componentdidmount code example

Example 1: how to use componentdidmount in functional component

// passing an empty array as second argument triggers the callback in useEffect
// only after the initial render thus replicating `componentDidMount` lifecycle behaviour
useEffect(() => {
  if(!props.fetched) {
 	 props.fetchRules();
  }
  console.log('mount it!');
}, []);

// componentDidUpdate
useEffect({
	your code here
}) 

// For componentDidUpdate
useEffect(() => {
  // Your code here
}, [yourDependency]);

// For componentWillUnmount
useEffect(() => {
  // componentWillUnmount
  return () => {
     // Your code here
  }
}, [yourDependency]);

Example 2: replace componentwillmount with hooks

useEffect(() => {
	//will be called on every load
})

useEffect(() => {
	//will be called on component mount
  window.addEventListener('mousemove', () => {});

  // returned function will be called on component unmount 
  return () => {
    window.removeEventListener('mousemove', () => {})
  }
}, []) // <---- empty array at end will cause to only run on first load

Example 3: useeffect only on mount

import React, { useEffect } from 'react';

function App() {
  useEffect(() => {
    // Run! Like go get some data from an API.
  }, []);
}

Example 4: useeffect

import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
function Example() {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0);

  // Similar to componentDidMount and componentDidUpdate:  useEffect(() => {    // Update the document title using the browser API    document.title = `You clicked ${count} times`;  });
  return (
    <div>
      <p>You clicked {count} times</p>
      <button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>
        Click me
      </button>
    </div>
  );
}

Example 5: useeffect

import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
function Example() {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0);

  useEffect(() => {    document.title = `You clicked ${count} times`;  });
  return (
    <div>
      <p>You clicked {count} times</p>
      <button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>
        Click me
      </button>
    </div>
  );
}
