Using React lifecycle methods in Clojure apps with re-frame

The re-frame library, built on ClojureScript, enables developers to create dynamic frontend applications using React, with a focus on functional programming through pure functions and Hiccup syntax. This tutorial guides users in setting up a re-frame application with Leiningen, creating a simple form styled with Bulma CSS, and explores the use of React lifecycle methods within re-frame, specifically through Form-3 components. The tutorial highlights the lifecycle methods like :component-did-mount, :reagent-render, :component-did-update, and :component-will-unmount, explaining their use cases and how they can be applied in managing application state and rendering. It emphasizes the separation of data fetching from components in re-frame, enhancing the functional programming paradigm, and provides practical examples for implementing these lifecycle methods in a ClojureScript environment.
