Rule category

Suspicious.

What it does

Warns usage of UNSAFE_componentWillUpdate in class components.

Why is this bad?

Using unsafe lifecycle methods like UNSAFE_componentWillUpdate makes your component’s behavior less predictable and are more likely to cause bugs.

Examples

Failing

import React from "react";
 
class class ExampleExample extends React.class React.Component<P = {}, S = {}, SS = any>Component {
  // @warn: Do not use 'UNSAFE_componentWillUpdate'
  Example.UNSAFE_componentWillUpdate(): void
Called immediately before rendering when new props or state is received. Not called for the initial render. Note: You cannot call {@link Component.setState } here. This method will not stop working in React 17. Note: the presence of {@link NewLifecycle.getSnapshotBeforeUpdate getSnapshotBeforeUpdate } or {@link StaticLifecycle.getDerivedStateFromProps getDerivedStateFromProps } prevents this from being invoked.
@deprecated16.3, use getSnapshotBeforeUpdate instead@see{@link https://legacy.reactjs.org/blog/2018/03/27/update-on-async-rendering.html#reading-dom-properties-before-an-update}@see{@link https://legacy.reactjs.org/blog/2018/03/27/update-on-async-rendering.html#gradual-migration-path}
