The life of an Angular component is eventful. Components get created, change state during their lifetime, and finally, they are destroyed. Angular provides some lifecycle hooks/functions that the framework invokes (on the component) when such an event occurs. Consider these examples:

- When a component's data-bound properties change, Angular invokes ngOnChanges
- When a component is destroyed, Angular invokes ngOnDestroy
As developers, we can tap into these key moments and perform some custom logic inside the respective component.
