# useUnmount
A hook that takes in a function to execute right when the component unmounts.
### Why? 💡
- takes care of performing a callback when the component unmounts
### Basic Usage:
```jsx harmony
import { Typography } from 'antd';
import useUnmount from 'beautiful-react-hooks/useUnmount';
const ComponentUnmount = () => {
useUnmount(() => {
console.log('Component did unmount');
});
return (
Check the javascript console complete moving from this page
);
};
;
```
### Callback setter syntax:
If the first parameter is omitted, you can use the returned function (a callback setter) to set the useWillUnmount handler. However, you
must immediately invoke the callback setter.
Important: The callback setter only changes the value of the callback reference and does not trigger a component rerender. Also, avoid
invoking it asynchronously
```jsx harmony
import { Typography } from 'antd';
import useUnmount from 'beautiful-react-hooks/useUnmount';
const ComponentUnmount = () => {
const onUnmount = useUnmount();
onUnmount(() => {
console.log('Component did unmount');
});
return (
Check the javascript console complete moving from this page
);
};
;
```
#### ✅ Pro tip:
When using a React function component you should not really think of it in terms of "lifecycle".
The `useUnmount` hook is indeed intended as a shortcut to `useEffect(() => () => Unmount, [])`.

### Mastering the hook
#### ✅ When to use
- When you need to perform a function after the component has mounted
#### 🛑 When not to use
- Avoid using this hook asynchronously since it would violate the [rules of hooks](https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-rules.html)
- If you're using the callback setter, make sure to invoke it immediately instead of asynchronously
### Types
```typescript static
import { type GenericFunction } from './shared/types';
/**
* Returns a callback setter for a callback to be performed when the component did unmount.
*/
declare const useUnmount: (callback?: TCallback | undefined) => import("./shared/types").CallbackSetter;
export default useUnmount;
```
