We can review the Razor component lifecycle in Figure 9.6:

In Figure 9.6, we can see that we can add hooks during the initialization and rendering phases. The following methods can be overridden to catch initialization events:
SetParametersAsyncOnInitializedandOnInitializedAsyncOnParametersSetandOnParametersSetAsync
SetParametersAsync and OnInitialized(Async) are invoked only in the first render. OnParametersSet(Async) is called every time a parameter is changed.
The following methods can be overridden to customize rendering:
ShouldRenderOnAfterRenderandOnAfterRenderAsync
