How deeply does Web Components in Action cover lifecycle?

Explains React’s four lifecycle categories and error boundaries, but stops short of specifying Unity phases or callbacks.

Lifecycle

As explained in Web Components in Action

A Unity component lifecycle is the sequence of phases and callbacks governing a component in the Unity game engine.

A component lifecycle is the sequence of phases and callbacks that governs a component. Unity appears as a comparison point for understanding how component-based systems organize these stages, but the available treatment does not specify Unity callbacks. section 4.1

Lifecycle comparisons can focus on these distinctions:

React groups lifecycle methods into mounting, updating, unmounting, and error handling. section 4.4
React uses error boundaries to isolate failures within components, while Web Components provide no directly similar lifecycle method. section 4.4
Web Components favor a smaller lifecycle surface that developers can extend with their own code, libraries, or microframeworks. section 4.4
