What are life cycle hooks in angular

Question

Accepted Answer

Life cycle hooks are functions that are called at specific stages of a component's life cycle in Angular.

There are eight life cycle hooks in Angular.
They are: ngOnChanges, ngOnInit, ngDoCheck, ngAfterContentInit, ngAfterContentChecked, ngAfterViewInit, ngAfterViewChecked, ngOnDestroy.
ngOnChanges is called when an input property of a component changes.
ngOnInit is called once the component is initialized.
ngDoCheck is called during every change detection cycle.
ngAfterContentInit is called after content is projected into the component.
ngAfterContentChecked is called after every check of projected content.
ngAfterViewInit is called after the component's view has been initialized.
ngAfterViewChecked is called after every check of the component's view.
ngOnDestroy is called just before the component is destroyed.
Life cycle hooks can be used to perform tasks such as initializing data, detecting changes, and cleaning up resources.
