Research direction

No file or test is named. Search the repository for componentWillMount and inspect the component that asynchronously retrieves data for rendering. Replace that lifecycle usage with componentDidMount, then verify the data still loads and renders correctly using the project's available checks.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

We're currently using componentWillMount to asynchronously retrieve data to render. Ideally, we should switch to componentDidMount.
