Executes a callback immediately before a component is unmounted and destroyed.
|
|
|
|
- Use the `useEffect()` hook with an empty array as the second argument. Return the provided callback to be executed only once before cleanup.
|
|
- Behaves like the `componentWillUnmount()` lifecycle method of class components.
|
|
|
|
```jsx
|
|
const useComponentWillUnmount = onUnmountHandler => {
|
|
React.useEffect(
|
|
() => () => {
|
|
onUnmountHandler();
|
|
},
|
|
[]
|
|
);
|
|
};
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```jsx
|
|
const Unmounter = () => {
|
|
useComponentWillUnmount(() => console.log('Component will unmount'));
|
|
|
|
return <div>Check the console!</div>;
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
ReactDOM.render(<Unmounter />, document.getElementById('root'));
|
|
```
