class Clock extends React.Component {

  componentDidMount() {
    this.timerID = setInterval(

      1000
    );
  }

  componentWillUnmount() {
    clearInterval(this.timerID);

  tick() {    this.setState({      date: new Date()    });  }
  render() {
    return (
      <div>

component will unmount

import React from 'react';
class ComponentOne extends React.Component {
 
  // Defining the componentWillUnmount method
  componentWillUnmount() {

  }
 
  render() {
    return <h1>Hello Geeks!</h1>;
  }
}
 
class App extends React.Component {
  state = { display: true };
  delete = () => {
    this.setState({ display: false });
  };
 
  render() {
    let comp;
    if (this.state.display) {
      comp = <ComponentOne />;
    }
    return (
      <div>
        {comp}
        <button onClick={this.delete}>
          Delete the component
        </button>
      </div>
    );
