As a beginner, heck even as a veteran, trying to understand all of the different lifecycle events in a React component can be a bit daunting. You’ll often find yourself googling which one to use even after spending months working with React because each method has different uses. There are times when you need to know when a component has loaded to add some kind of JavaScript plugin or know when a component’s props have changed, for example. Knowing how and when to use each of these methods can make building applications much easier. Jonathan Creamer goes through each lifecycle method, giving some examples of how and when to use them.
