Oh, I totally forgot how mad I am at React because, with the new hooks-based approach, it has removed the semantic of "do this side effect just once when a component mounts". Mounting a component is such a crucial part of the life cycle of any web component that I am amazed that the React team does not have a special way of handling this; or that with their new architecture they are not guaranteeing how many mount-unmount cycles a component will go through. This all makes me want to move on to web components; but of course now the project that I am a developer on is locked in React :-(
