      interface OnInit {
  ngOnInit(): void
}

Methods

ngOnInit()

A callback method that is invoked immediately after the default change detector has checked the directive's data-bound properties for the first time, and before any of the view or content children have been checked. It is invoked only once when the directive is instantiated.
ngOnInit(): void
      
      ngOnInit(): void

Parameters

void

Usage notes

The following snippet shows how a component can implement this interface to define its own initialization method.

@Component({selector: 'my-cmp', template: `...`}) class MyComponent implements OnInit { ngOnInit() { // ... } } 
      
      @Component({selector: 'my-cmp', template: `...`})
class MyComponent implements OnInit {
  ngOnInit() {
    // ...
  }
}
