Answer
Lifecycle hooks are special methods Angular calls during component creation, update, and destruction.
They help with initialization, loading data, reacting to input changes, accessing the DOM, and cleaning up resources.
Quick Answer
Angular lifecycle: constructor (DI), ngOnChanges (input changes), ngOnInit (initialization, data fetch), ngDoCheck (custom change detection), ngAfterContentInit/Checked (projected content), ngAfterViewInit/Checked (view children ready), ngOnDestroy (cleanup). ngOnInit is where you fetch initial data. ngOnDestroy is where you unsubscribe all Observables to prevent memory leaks.
