React - Lifecycle Methods - Cheatsheet

The document provides a cheatsheet on React's lifecycle methods, categorizing them into mounting, updating, and unmounting phases. It details the specific methods used in each phase, such as componentWillMount(), render(), componentDidMount(), shouldComponentUpdate(), and componentWillUnmount(). Additionally, it explains the purpose of these methods, including when they are called and their significance in managing component behavior during rendering and cleanup.

Lifecycle Methods

Mounting Lifecycle Methods

React supports three mounting lifecycle methods for


component classes: componentWillMount() ,
render() , and componentDidMount() .
componentWillMount() will be called first followed
by the render() method and finally the
componentDidMount() method.

Updating Lifecycle Method

When a component updates, shouldComponentUpdate(nextProps,


shouldComponentUpdate() gets called after
nextState) {
componentWillReceiveProps() , but still before the
rendering begins. It automatically receives two if (([Link] == [Link])
arguments: nextProps and nextState . &&
shouldComponentUpdate() should return either ([Link] ==
true or false. The best way to use this method is to have
it return false only under certain conditions. If those [Link])) {
conditions are met, then your component will not return false;
update.
} else {
return true;
}
}

Unmounting Lifecycle Method

React supports one unmounting lifecycle method, componentWillUnmount(prevProps,


componentWillUnmount , which will be called right
prevState) {
before a component is removed from the DOM.
componentWillUnmount() is used to do any clearInterval([Link]);
necessary cleanup (canceling any timers or intervals, }
for example) before the component disappears.
Note that the [Link]() method should not be
called inside componentWillUnmount() because the
component will not be re-rendered.

Lifecycle Phases

There are three categories of lifecycle methods:


mounting, updating, and unmounting.
A component “mounts” when it renders for the first
time. This is when mounting lifecycle methods get
called.
The first time that a component instance renders, it
does not update. Starting with the second render, a
component updates every time that it renders.
A component’s unmounting period occurs when the
component is removed from the DOM. This could
happen if the DOM is rerendered without the
component, or if the user navigates to a different
website or closes their web browser.

Component Mount

A React component mounts when it renders to the


DOM for the first time. If it’s already mounted, a
component can be rendered again if it needs to change
its appearance or content.

Component Mounting Phase

A component “mounts” when it renders for the first


time. When a component mounts, it automatically calls
these three methods, in the order of:
1. constructor()
2. render()
3. componentDidUpdate()
