## Component lifecycle hooks
|
||||
Directive and component instances have a lifecycle
|
||||
as Angular creates, updates, and destroys them.
|
||||
|
||||
Developers can tap into key moments in that lifecycle by implementing
|
||||
one or more of the *Lifecycle Hook* interfaces in the Angular `core` library.
|
||||
|
||||
Each interface has a single hook method whose name is the interface name prefixed with `ng`.
|
||||
For example, the `OnInit` interface has a hook method named `ngOnInit`.
|
||||
We might implement it in a component class like this:
|
||||
For example, the `OnInit` interface has a hook method named `ngOnInit`
|
||||
that Angular calls shortly after creating the component:
|
||||
+makeExample('lifecycle-hooks/ts/app/peek-a-boo.component.ts', 'ngOnInit', 'peek-a-boo.component.ts (excerpt)')(format='.')

### Interface optional?
|
||||
|
||||
The interfaces are optional for JavaScript and Typescript developers from a purely technical perspective.
|
||||
The JavaScript language doesn't have interfaces.
|
||||
Angular can't see TypeScript interfaces at runtime because they disappear from the transpiled JavaScript.
|
||||
|
||||
Fortunately, they aren't necessary.
|
||||
We don't have to add the lifecycle hook interfaces to our directives and components to benefit from the hooks themselves.
|
||||
|
||||
Angular instead inspects our directive and component classes and calls the hook methods *if they are defined*.
|
||||
Angular will find and call methods like `ngOnInit()`, with or without the interfaces.
|
||||
|
||||
Nonetheless, we strongly recommend adding interfaces to TypeScript directive classes
|
||||
in order to benefit from strong typing and editor tooling.

|

The `ngOnInit` and `ngOnDestroy` methods have more vital roles to play in real applications.
|
||||
Let's see why we need them.
|
||||
|
||||
### OnInit
|
||||
|
||||
We turn to `ngOnInit` for two main reasons:
|
||||
1. To perform complex initializations shortly after construction
|
||||
1. To set up the component after Angular sets the input properties
|
||||
Use `ngOnInit` for two main reasons:
|
||||
1. to perform complex initializations shortly after construction
|
||||
1. to set up the component after Angular sets the input properties
|
||||
|
||||
An `ngOnInit` often fetches data for the component as shown in the
|
||||
[Tutorial](../tutorial/toh-pt4.html#oninit) and [HTTP](server-communication.html#oninit) chapters.
|
||||
|
||||
We don't fetch data in a component constructor. Why?
|
||||
Because experienced developers agree that components should be cheap and safe to construct.
|
||||
We shouldn't worry that a new component will try to contact a remote server when
|
||||
created under test or before we decide to display it.
|
||||
Constructors should do no more than set the initial local variables to simple values.
|
||||
|
||||
When a component must start working _soon_ after creation,
|
||||
we can count on Angular to call the `ngOnInit` method to jumpstart it.
|
||||
That's where the heavy initialization logic belongs.
|
||||
|
||||
Remember also that a directive's data-bound input properties are not set until _after construction_.
|
||||
That's a problem if we need to initialize the directive based on those properties.
|
||||
They'll have been set when our `ngOninit` runs.

||||

|
||||
Our first opportunity to access those properties is the `ngOnChanges` method which
|
||||
Angular calls before `ngOnInit`. But Angular calls `ngOnChanges` many times after that.

Misko Hevery, Angular team lead,
|
||||
[explains why](http://misko.hevery.com/code-reviewers-guide/flaw-constructor-does-real-work/)
|
||||
you should avoid complex constructor logic.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
Don't fetch data in a component constructor.
|
||||
You shouldn't worry that a new component will try to contact a remote server when
|
||||
created under test or before you decide to display it.
|
||||
Constructors should do no more than set the initial local variables to simple values.
|
||||
|
||||
An `ngOnInit` is a good place for a component to fetch its initial data. The
|
||||
[Tutorial](../tutorial/toh-pt4.html#oninit) and [HTTP](server-communication.html#oninit) chapter
|
||||
show how.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Remember also that a directive's data-bound input properties are not set until _after construction_.
|
||||
That's a problem if you need to initialize the directive based on those properties.
|
||||
They'll have been set when `ngOninit` runs.
|
||||
.l-sub-section

|
||||
The `ngOnChanges` method is your first opportunity to access those properties.
|
||||
Angular calls `ngOnChanges` before `ngOnInit` ... and many times after that.
|
||||
It only calls `ngOnInit` once.
|
||||
:marked
|
||||
You can count on Angular to call the `ngOnInit` method _soon_ after creating the component.
|
||||
That's where the heavy initialization logic belongs.
|
||||
|
||||
### OnDestroy
|
||||
|
||||
Put cleanup logic in `ngOnDestroy`, the logic that *must* run before Angular destroys the directive.
|
||||
|
||||
This is the time to notify another part of the application that this component is going away.
|
||||
This is the time to notify another part of the application that the component is going away.
|
||||
|
||||
This is the place to free resources that won't be garbage collected automatically.
|
||||
Unsubscribe from observables and DOM events. Stop interval timers.
|
||||
Unregister all callbacks that this directive registered with global or application services.
|
||||
We risk memory leaks if we neglect to do so.

## OnChanges
|
||||
|
||||
We monitor the `OnChanges` hook in this example.
|
||||
Angular calls its `ngOnChanges` method whenever it detects changes to ***input properties*** of the component (or directive).
|
||||
|
||||
Here is our implementation of the hook.
|
||||
This example monitors the `OnChanges` hook.
|
||||
+makeExample('lifecycle-hooks/ts/app/on-changes.component.ts', 'ng-on-changes', 'OnChangesComponent (ngOnChanges)')(format=".")
|
||||
:marked
|
||||
The `ngOnChanges` method takes an object that maps each changed property name to a
|
||||
[SimpleChange](../api/core/index/SimpleChange-class.html) object with the current and previous property values.
|
||||
We iterate over the changed properties and log them.
|
||||
[SimpleChange](../api/core/index/SimpleChange-class.html) object holding the current and previous property values.
|
||||
This hook iterates over the changed properties and logs them.
|
||||
|
||||
The input properties for our example `OnChangesComponent` are `hero` and `power`.
|
||||
The example component, `OnChangesComponent`, has two input properties: `hero` and `power`.
|
||||

|
||||
The log entries appear as the string value of the *power* property changes.
|
||||
But the `ngOnChanges` does not catch changes to `hero.name`
|
||||
That's surprising at first.
|
||||
|
||||
Angular only calls the hook when the value of the input property changes.

We now are able to detect when the hero's `name` has changed. But we must be careful.

This hook is called with enormous frequency —

after _every_ change detection cycle no matter where the change occurred.
|

It's called over twenty times in this example before the user can do anything.

|
||||
Most of these initial checks are triggered by Angular's first rendering of *unrelated data elsewhere on the page*.
|

Mere mousing into another input box triggers a call.

Relatively few calls reveal actual changes to pertinent data.

Why does the `doSomething` method wait a tick before updating `comment`?
