title: useComponentWillUnmount
tags: hooks,effect,beginner
---
A hook that executes a callback immediately before a component is unmounted and destroyed.
- Use `React.useEffect()` with an empty array as the second argument and return the provided callback to be executed only once before cleanup.
```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'));
```
