Usage Notes

The following snippet shows how a component can implement this interface to define an on-changes handler for an input property.

@Component({        selector: 'my-cmp',        template: `...`,        standalone: false,      })      class MyComponent implements OnChanges {        @Input() prop: number = 0;        ngOnChanges(changes: SimpleChanges) {          // changes.prop contains the old and the new value...        }      }
