+title: onMount
+---
+
+Every component has a *lifecycle* that starts when it is created, and ends when it is destroyed. There are a handful of functions that allow you to run code at key moments during that lifecycle.
+
+The one you'll use most frequently is `onMount`, which runs after the component is first rendered to the DOM. We briefly encountered it [earlier](tutorial/bind-this) when we needed to interact with a `<canvas>` element after it had been rendered.
+
+We'll add an `onMount` handler that loads some data over the network:
+
+```html
+<script>
+	import { onMount } from 'svelte';
+
+	let photos = [];
+
+	onMount(async () => {
+		const res = await fetch(`https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/photos?_limit=20`);
+		photos = await res.json();
+	});
+</script>
+```
+
+> It's recommended to put the `fetch` in `onMount` rather than at the top level of the `<script>` because of server-side rendering (SSR). With the exception of `onDestroy`, lifecycle functions don't run during SSR, which means we can avoid fetching data that should be loaded lazily once the component has been mounted in the DOM.
+
+Lifecycle functions must be called while the component is initialising so that the callback is bound to the component instance — not (say) in a `setTimeout`.
+
+If the `onMount` callback returns a function, that function will be called when the component is destroyed.

+title: onDestroy
+---
+
+To run code when your component is destroyed, use `onDestroy`.
+
+For example, we can add a `setInterval` function when our component initialises, and clean it up when it's no longer relevant. Doing so prevents memory leaks.
+
+```html
+<script>
+	import { onDestroy } from 'svelte';
+
+	let seconds = 0;
+	const interval = setInterval(() => seconds += 1, 1000);
+
+	onDestroy(() => clearInterval(interval));
+</script>
+```
+
+While it's important to call lifecycle functions during the component's initialisation, it doesn't matter *where* you call them from. So if we wanted, we could abstract the interval logic into a helper function in `utils.js`...
+
+```js
+import { onDestroy } from 'svelte';
+
+export function onInterval(callback, milliseconds) {
+	const interval = setInterval(callback, milliseconds);
+
+	onDestroy(() => {
+		clearInterval(interval);
+	});
+}
+```
+
+...and import it into our component:
+
+```html
+<script>
+	import { onInterval } from './utils.js';
+
+	let seconds = 0;
+	onInterval(() => seconds += 1, 1000);
+</script>
+```

+title: beforeUpdate and afterUpdate
+---
+
+The `beforeUpdate` function schedules work to happen immediately before the DOM has been updated. `afterUpdate` is its counterpart, used for running code once the DOM is in sync with your data.
+
+Together, they're useful for doing things imperatively that are difficult to achieve in a purely state-driven way, like updating the scroll position of an element.
+
+This [Eliza](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ELIZA) chatbot is annoying to use, because you have to keep scrolling the chat window. Let's fix that.
+
+```js
+let div;
+let autoscroll;
+
+beforeUpdate(() => {
+	autoscroll = div && (div.offsetHeight + div.scrollTop) > (div.scrollHeight - 20);
+});
+
+afterUpdate(() => {
+	if (autoscroll) div.scrollTo(0, div.scrollHeight);
+});
+```
+
+Note that `beforeUpdate` will first run before the component has mounted, so we need to check for the existence of `div` before reading its properties.
