Stateful Components
Explore how to create stateful React components that manage internal data and respond to user interactions or data changes. Learn about constructors, state initialization, lifecycle methods like componentDidMount and componentDidUpdate, and conditional rendering to build dynamic web applications that fetch and display asynchronous data.

In the previous lesson, we saw how to build a stateless React component. By stateless, we mean that the component only receives input from the outside and it doesn’t need to calculate or manage any internal information to be able to render itself to the DOM.
While it’s great to have stateless components, sometimes, we have to manage some kind of state and React allows us to do that. So, let’s learn how with an example.
