use-lifecycle

A collection of hooks that helps you to track the lifecycle of your components in a similar way to class components.

useDidMount

This hook is a replacement for the componentDidMount method.

import {useDidMount} from 'use-lifecycle';
 
export default function MyComponent() {
  useDidMount(() => {
    console.log('MyComponent mounted');
  });
}

useDidUpdate

This hook is similar to the componentDidUpdate method, the only difference is that you need to specify what variable you want to keep track of updates.

import {useDidUpdate} from 'use-lifecycle';
 
export default function MyComponent(props) {
  useDidUpdate(prevProps => {
    console.log('Previous props', prevProps);
    console.log('Current props', props);
  }, props);
}

It can also be used multiple times for tracking different things separately.

export default function MyComponent(props) {
  const [state, setState] = useState();
 
  useDidUpdate(prevState => {
    console.log('State changed', state, prevState);
  }, state);
 
  useDidUpdate(prevProps => {
    console.log('Props changed', props, prevProps);
  }, props);
 
  useDidUpdate(prevFoo => {
    console.log('foo changed', props.foo, prevFoo);
  }, props.foo);
}

useWillUnmount

A hook that's a replacement for the componentWillUnmount method.

import {useWillUnmount} from 'use-lifecycle';
 
export default function MyComponent(props) {
  useWillUnmount(prevProps => {
    console.log('MyComponent will unmount');
  }, props);
}
