} from 'react-life-hooks'

  onInit(()=>{
    console.log('this is like constructor');
  })
  onDidMount(()=>{
    console.log('this is like componentDidMount');
  });
  onDidUpdate(()=>{
    console.log('this is like componentDidUpdate');
  });
  onWillUnmount(()=>{
    console.log('this is like componentWillUnmount');
  });
  onChange(props, prevProps=>{
    console.log('this is like componentWillReceiveProps')
  })

  // state, setState is life time, same reference in each render
  const [state, setState] = useLifeState({x:1})
  // below have no bugs any more
  const onClick = () => {
    setState({x: state.x+1})
  }
