Callback when DOM is loaded in react.js

A combination of componentDidMount and componentDidUpdate will get the job done in a code with class components. But if you're writing code in total functional components the Effect Hook would do a great job it's the same as componentDidMount and componentDidUpdate.

import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';

function Example() {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0);

  // Similar to componentDidMount and componentDidUpdate:
  useEffect(() => {
    // Update the document title using the browser API
    document.title = `You clicked ${count} times`;
  });

  return (
    <div>
      <p>You clicked {count} times</p>
      <button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>
        Click me
      </button>
    </div>
  );
}

Add onload listener in componentDidMount

class Comp1 extends React.Component {
 constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.handleLoad = this.handleLoad.bind(this);
 }

 componentDidMount() {
    window.addEventListener('load', this.handleLoad);
 }

 componentWillUnmount() { 
   window.removeEventListener('load', this.handleLoad)  
 }

 handleLoad() {
  $("myclass") //  $ is available here
 }
}

Looks like a combination of componentDidMount and componentDidUpdate will get the job done. The first is called after the initial rendering, when the DOM is available, the second is called after any subsequent renderings, once the updated DOM is available. In my case, I both have them delegate to a common function to do the same thing.
