Lifecycle Hooks in Lightning Web Component (LWC)

Lifecycle hooks are methods provided by the Lightning Web Components framework that allow developers to perform actions at specific points during a component's lifecycle. The hooks include constructor, connectedCallback, render, renderedCallback, disconnectedCallback, and errorCallback which fire at different stages like component creation, insertion/removal from DOM, and error handling.

Lifecycle Hooks in Lightning Web Component

Lifecycle hooks are used to handle the lifecycle of components.

1. Constructor: The constructor() fires when a component instance is created.


2. ConnectedCallback: Fires when a component is inserted into the DOM.
3. Render
4. RenderedCallback: Fires when a component is rendered on the DOM.
5. DisconnectedCallback: Fires when a component is removed from the
DOM.
6. ErrorCallback: Fires in case of any error during a lifecycle hook or event

➢ Lifecycle hooks are methods provided by the Lightning Web Components (LWC) framework
that allow developers to perform actions at specific points during a component's lifecycle.

➢ Understanding these lifecycle hooks is essential for effective component management and
customization. Here's a detailed explanation of each lifecycle hook:

1. Constructor:
- The constructor() method is invoked when a component instance is created.

- It is typically used for initializing component properties and setting up initial state.

- You can use this hook to perform any one-time setup tasks required for the component.
2. ConnectedCallback:
- The ConnectedCallback() method fires when a component is inserted into the DOM.

- This hook is useful for performing tasks that require access to the DOM, such as fetching data
from an external source or setting up event listeners.

- You can use this hook to initialize external dependencies or perform setup actions that rely on the
component being part of the DOM.

3. Render:
- The Render() method is responsible for generating the component's HTML template.

- Within this hook, you define the structure and content of the component's UI using HTML markup
and data bindings.

- This hook is automatically invoked by the LWC framework whenever the component needs to be
rendered or re-rendered.

4. RenderedCallback:
- The RenderedCallback() method fires after the component's template has been rendered on the
DOM.

- It is useful for performing actions that need to be executed after the component's HTML has been
rendered, such as updating the DOM based on data changes or interacting with rendered elements.

- You can use this hook to perform post-render tasks or interact with the DOM after the component
has been rendered.

5. DisconnectedCallback:
- The DisconnectedCallback() method fires when a component is removed from the DOM.

- It is useful for performing cleanup tasks, such as removing event listeners or resetting component
state, before the component is destroyed.

- You can use this hook to release any resources or clean up any setup performed during the
component's lifecycle.
6. ErrorCallback:
- The ErrorCallback() method fires in case of any error during a lifecycle hook or event.

- It allows you to gracefully handle errors and display fallback UI or perform error logging.

- You can use this hook to catch and handle errors that occur during the component's lifecycle to
prevent application crashes and provide a better user experience.

Understanding and utilizing these lifecycle hooks enables you to effectively manage the initialization,
rendering, and cleanup of Lightning Web Components, ensuring their smooth functioning
throughout their lifecycle.
