Use Cases
LWC Lifecycle Hooks
Level Lifecycle Hook Use Case Purpose
Easy connectedCallback Fetch data from Apex on Initialize
component load component state
Easy renderedCallback Focus an input element Interact with
after DOM renders rendered DOM
Medium disconnectedCallback Clear interval or event Prevent memory
listeners when leaks
component unmounts
Medium renderedCallback Trigger animations or DOM-dependent
third-party libraries initialization
Hard errorCallback Catch and log child Error handling at
component errors parent level
Hard connectedCallback + Manage pub-sub event Global event
disconnectedCallback registration communication
Harder Combined Hooks Track render count and Optimize render
conditional DOM logic performance
LWC Decorators
Level Decorator Use Case Purpose
Easy @track Reactive UI for nested object Enable fine-grained
properties reactivity
Easy @api Accept recordId or value from Parent-to-child data flow
parent
Medium @wire Automatically fetch Apex data Auto-updated data
using reactive params retrieval
Medium @api method Expose method to parent or Flow Enable programmatic
control
Hard @api Perform logic when public property Custom reactivity
setter/getter changes
Hard @wire with Dynamically fetch data based on Data reactivity with
config reactive params complex logic
Harder Combined Use @api, @track, @wire together Build smart, reusable
Decorators in one component data-driven UI
