Component lifecycle methods are predefined functions used in front-end frameworks like React to manage the different stages of a component's existence:
Mounting Phase:
constructor(): Component setup.
render(): Display content.
componentDidMount(): Perform tasks after rendering.
Updating Phase:
shouldComponentUpdate(): Decide if an update is needed.
render(): Re-render with new data.
componentDidUpdate(): Tasks after updates.
Unmounting Phase:
componentWillUnmount(): Cleanup before removal.
