React useComponentDidMount hook

Executes a callback immediately after a component is mounted.

  • Use the useEffect() hook with an empty array as the second argument. This will execute the provided callback only once when the component is mounted.
  • Behaves like the componentDidMount() lifecycle method of class components.
const useComponentDidMount = onMountHandler => {
  React.useEffect(() => {
    onMountHandler();
  }, []);
};
const Mounter = () => {
  useComponentDidMount(() => console.log('Component did mount'));

  return <div>Check the console!</div>;
};

ReactDOM.render(<Mounter />, document.getElementById('root'));
