<Note>

**Note:** The `static getDerivedStateFromProps` method can also be used with components created via the `createClass` API (using the [`create-react-class`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/create-react-class) package). This allows legacy codebases to adopt the newer lifecycle pattern.

The mention of legacy create-react-class and getDerivedStateFromProps feels out of scope for modern Hooks-based guidance. To directly address #8226, we should instead focus the example on the core distinction: using an Effect for Initial Sync versus an Event Handler for Pagination. This keeps the mental model clean and relevant.
