REACT LIFECYCLE TICKER - First Introduction to React Lifecycle

This is the application where I got introduced to componentDidMount() a function of React Lifecycle that is invoked automatically when the particular component gets mounted.

State and Lifecycle are only available in a class-based component in contrast to functional component (which btw can have similar functions using React Hooks(

• State Hook
• Effect Hook )).

Hence, I realized after this lession that I had been using a component of React Lifecycle called render().

Code Snippets

  componentDidMount() {

    this.state.setIntID = setInterval(()=>
      this.setState({
          ticker: this.state.ticker + 1
        }), 1000
    )
  }

when the component, which in this case is the main component, app.js is called componentDidMount() is invoked at first. which invokes setInterval() storing the unique idea it returns to this.state.setIntID.
