The Complete Strapi™ Course with Plugins and Deployment - Lifecycle Hooks: The Theory

The video tutorial introduces lifecycle hooks, explaining their theory and practical application in a blog application. Lifecycle hooks are functions triggered by events in Strappy, either through the admin panel or custom code. They can be customized declaratively or programmatically.
