Lifecycle Methods

The following is a list of the lifecycle methods available to DoksJS components:

• constructor(): This method is called when the component is first created. It is used to initialize the component's state.

• componentWillMount(): This method is called before the component is mounted in the DOM. It is used to perform tasks that need to be done before the component is rendered.

• render(): This method is called to render the component. It is responsible for returning the HTML markup for the component.

• componentDidMount(): This method is called after the component is mounted in the DOM. It is used to perform tasks that need to be done after the component is rendered.

• componentWillUnmount(): This method is called before the component is unmounted from the DOM. It is used to perform tasks that need to be done before the component is removed from the DOM.

The lifecycle methods are a powerful way to control the lifecycle of your DoksJS components. By using the lifecycle methods, you can ensure that your components are initialized, rendered, and handled correctly.

Here is an example of a DoksJS component that uses the lifecycle methods:

class MyComponent extends Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);

    this.state = {
      count: 0,
    };
  }

  componentWillMount() {
    console.log('The component is about to be mounted.');
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        The count is: {this.state.count}
        <button onClick={this.handleClick}>Click me!</button>
      </div>
    );
  }

  componentDidMount() {
    console.log('The component has been mounted.');
  }

  handleClick() {
    this.setState({
      count: this.state.count + 1,
    });
  }
}

export default MyComponent;

In this example, the componentWillMount() method is used to log a message to the console when the component is about to be mounted. The render() method is used to render the component's HTML markup. The componentDidMount() method is used to log a message to the console when the component has been mounted. The handleClick() method is used to increment the component's count property when the button is clicked.
