I want to display an dialog box on unmount and When user cancels it should stop unmounting the component.
Right now, even if user cancels or says ok, component will anyway unmount on return funtion.
Is there any way to stop unmount on the return function? Or any other approach?
Hi, I need a help
How to convert this in functional component ?
I have done something like this ...
I am facing problem in
return function
If you don't need anything to fire on component unmount, you can remove the return.
Thank you very much for this
the returned function fires on component Re-render also. How to you check if its an unmount or just a re-render ?
Basically its just a clean up function which runs every time the useEffect is used (except the first time)
Are you sure? AFAIK it should not be the case, it's only triggered once the component is unmounting or remounting itself. So maybe you can check that out.
Also you might have other useEffect who are defined sooner and as you might know the order of defining useEffect hooks matter
I suppose you could use a useRef to track the render (it will not be cleaned on a rerender). Depends on what you need it to do.
import React, { useEffect } from 'react';
const ComponentExample => () => {
useEffect( () => {
// Anything in here is fired on component mount.
}, []);
}
hi srry this show me that is fired on component mount but not on will mount, so i try to find what is best solution to replace componentWillMount. Tnx.
Thanks very much
This is going to simulate componentDidUnmount, not componentWillUnmount
Hm, interesting. Can you explain it further in detail?
Nice this is what I was searching for :).
"Parsing error: Unexpected token, expected ","" is what i get when i try to return that
Looks like you have a typo?
Very cool!

Hey, do we have some restrictions with using the current state values inside ComponentWillUnmount cleanup function ?
Few of my state values are reseted before my code could run 😔
Able to give a bit more context? If you are passing this state out of the component (e.g. to a parent) and then unmounting this component I imagine you would have problems.
Thanks
