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

The video tutorial explains life cycle hooks in Strapi, which are functions triggered by specific events during data operations. It covers how to create these hooks by setting up a lifecycle.js file and exporting methods. The tutorial details the parameters and keys associated with events, such as action and model object. It provides examples of use cases, like applying discounts in an e-commerce app. The video also distinguishes between life cycle hooks, used for internal operations, and web hooks, which notify external systems of events in Strapi.
