5. What are the different phases of React component's lifecycle? https://github.com/Pau1fitz/react-interview#name-the-different-lifecycle-methods

Initial Rendering Phase: This is the phase when the component is about to start its life journey and make its way to the DOM.

Updating Phase: Once the component gets added to the DOM, it can potentially update and re-render only when a prop or state change occurs. That happens only in this phase.

Unmounting Phase: This is the final phase of a component's life cycle in which the component is destroyed and removed from the DOM.

LIVE TEST TASK online IDE:

Given two arrays of URLs (fetchSequentially=[...] and fetchInParallel=[...]), create a function that would fetch items from the first one "one by one" and then items from the second one "all at the same time" and return a Promise object with results

HOME TASK:

Create an app (or just quickly sketch it => code only the essential parts and the file structure) that would query https://swapi.co/api/people/1/, render results in a table and allow to "walk-through" linked objects (making extra queries)
