Exploring Angular’s afterRender and afterNextRender Hooks

Angular, known for addressing challenges in browser-related activities such as manual DOM manipulation, has introduced two new features: afterRender and afterNextRender. The afterRender component triggers after every change detection cycle and enables additional reads or writes to the DOM every time Angular completes mutations. The afterNextRender function runs once after each subsequent change detection cycle and is ideal for one-time initializations. Both of these serve to ensure code execution when working with browser-specific APIs and can operate within the injection context. They also offer precise control over the sequencing of DOM operations, helping to minimize layout thrashing. Angular also automatically unregisters callbacks when a component is destroyed, but manual unregistering is also available through each hook's destroy function.
