The Complete React Developer Course (with Hooks and Redux) - Cleaning up Effects

The video tutorial explains how to use the useEffect hook in React to replace traditional lifecycle methods like componentDidMount, componentDidUpdate, and componentWillUnmount. It demonstrates creating a separate note component, passing props, and destructuring them.
