In web development, lifecycle hooks are essential for managing component behavior at specific stages of their lifecycle. These hooks allow developers to execute custom logic when a component is mounted, updated, or unmounted. Here's a breakdown:

Key Lifecycle Phases 🔄

  • Mounting: Initialization phase where the component is rendered for the first time.
    component_mount
  • Updating: Triggered whenever the component's props or state change.
    component_update
  • Unmounting: Final phase when the component is removed from the DOM.
    component_unmount

Best Practices ✅

  • Use hooks to handle side effects like data fetching or subscriptions.
  • Avoid direct DOM manipulation; let React manage it.
  • Clean up resources in unmounting phases to prevent memory leaks.
