what is the use of life cycle in reactjs code example

Example 1: lifecycle methods react

Every component in React goes through a lifecycle of events. I like to think of them as going through a cycle of birth, growth, and death.

Mounting – Birth of your component
Update – Growth of your component
Unmount – Death of your component

Example 2: react lifecycle

constructor(props) {
  super(props);
  // Don't call this.setState() here!
  this.state = { counter: 0 };
  this.handleClick = this.handleClick.bind(this);
}
