🏗️ Salesforce LWC Lifecycle Hooks: The Complete Guide

💬 In plain words: Every Lightning Web Component (LWC) goes through the same life stages. It gets created, added to the page, drawn on the screen, and later removed.

Always put your code in the earliest hook that has what your code needs. Put code in the wrong hook and you get bugs that are hard to track down: values that show up as undefined , a browser tab that freezes, or listeners that pile up every time the component loads again.
