react functional component component did mount 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: how to use 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 3: useeffect componentdidmount

useEffect(() => {
    messagesRef.on('child added', snapshot => {
    const message = snapshot.val();
    message.key = snapshot.key;

    setMessages(messages.concat(message)); // See Note 1
}, []); // See Note 2
