React and Component Lifecycles. Today I Learned: Monday, June 27 2022

  • Continuing with Codecademy’s React course.
  • Now it’s talking about the component lifestyle of React.
    • It consists of three ‘high-level’ parts.
      • Mounting.
        • When a component is put into the DOM for the first time.
      • Updating
      • Unmounting
        • When a component is removed from the DOM.
  • Lifecycle methods are methods relating to the lifecycle. constructor() and render() are examples.
  • Single Responsibility Principal. Not sure exactly what this is. Something got to do with constructor() methods.
  • During the mounting phase, you call three lifecycle methods in this order.
      1. The constructor
    • render()
    • componentDidMount()
  • This stuff is pretty difficult. I’m going through the tutorial, but the concepts are tough to understand.
  • SPA stands for Single Page Application. youtube.com/watch?v=zbHb1c_gII4&list=WL..
