what is the render method in react code example

Example 1: render props

//Render props are functions that are passed to props as values
const User = (props) => {
	const [name, setName] = useState('John')

	//we pass values to prop-function as args
	return <div>{props.render(name)}</div>
}

//Then we can use this component like this:
<div>
  //when using the component we receive the passed values (name) as args here 
  <User render={(name) => <div>{name}</div>} /> 
</div>

Example 2: react lifecycle hooks

class Content extends React.Component {
  // ...
  componentWillMount() {
    this.setState({ activities: data });
  }
  // ...
}
