ReactJS lifecycle method inside a functional Compo

Question

Instead of writing my components inside a class, I'd like to use the functional syntax instead.

How do I override componentDidMount, componentWillMount inside functional components?
Is it even possible?

const grid = (props) => {
    console.log(props);
    let {skuRules} = props;

    const componentDidMount = () => {
        if(!props.fetched) {
            props.fetchRules();
        }
        console.log('mount it!');
    };
    return(
        <Content title="Promotions" breadcrumbs={breadcrumbs} fetched={skuRules.fetched}>
            <Box title="Sku Promotion">
                <ActionButtons buttons={actionButtons} />
                <SkuRuleGrid 
                    data={skuRules.payload}
                    fetch={props.fetchSkuRules}
                />
            </Box>      
        </Content>  
    )
}

You can make use of create-react-class module. Official documentation

Of course you must first install it

npm install create-react-class

Here is a working example

import React from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom"
let createReactClass = require('create-react-class')


let Clock = createReactClass({
    getInitialState:function(){
        return {date:new Date()}
    },

    render:function(){
        return (
            <h1>{this.state.date.toLocaleTimeString()}</h1>
        )
    },

    componentDidMount:function(){
        this.timerId = setInterval(()=>this.setState({date:new Date()}),1000)
    },

    componentWillUnmount:function(){
        clearInterval(this.timerId)
    }

})

ReactDOM.render(
    <Clock/>,
    document.getElementById('root')
)
