React Clock

• Replace <your_account> with your Github username in the DEMO LINK
• Follow the React task guideline
• Use React TypeScript cheat sheet

Task

Create a Clock component updating the time every second.

• Use class component
• Start the timer only when the component is added to the page (componentDidMount)
• Update the state every second using setInterval
• Save timerId to stop it later

  this.timerId = setInterval(your code here);

Lifecycle methods tasks

1. Watch this video about HOW TO HANDLE BUTTON CLICK.
2. Add buttons Show Clock and Hide Clock in the App component to change isClockVisible variable in the App state.
3. The Clock should not be rendered when isClockVisible is false.
4. Change the Clock component to print the time not only on the page but also in the DevTools console.
   • Stop the timer when the Clock is hidden (componentWillUnmount)

     // use previously saved timerId 
     clearInterval(this.timerId);

5. Check if it works correctly:
   • Hide and show the Clock several times and leave it visible
   • The time in the console should be printed only once each second

(Optional) Prop update task

1. Add Set random name button to the App to set a random number as a clockName variable in the App state.
2. Pass the name to the <Clock name={this.state.clockName} />
3. Every time the name changes print a message in the console The Clock was renamed from oldName to newName (componentDidUpdate)
   • Check if the message appears in the console between clock ticks
