Vue Lifecycle Hook Component with TypeScript

This challenge focuses on implementing a Vue component that utilizes various lifecycle hooks to perform actions at specific points in the component's existence. Understanding and utilizing lifecycle hooks is crucial for managing component state, interacting with external resources, and optimizing performance in Vue applications. You'll be building a component that logs messages to the console at different stages of its lifecycle.

Problem Description

You are tasked with creating a Vue component named LifecycleTracker that demonstrates the use of several key lifecycle hooks. The component should display a simple message and log specific messages to the console at the following stages:

• beforeCreate: Log "Before Creation"
• created: Log "Created"
• beforeMount: Log "Before Mount"
• mounted: Log "Mounted"
• beforeUpdate: Log "Before Update"
• updated: Log "Updated"
• beforeUnmount: Log "Before Unmount"
• unmounted: Log "Unmounted"

The component should also have a button that, when clicked, triggers a data update, demonstrating the updated hook. The component should be written in TypeScript and should adhere to good coding practices.

Key Requirements:

• Implement all specified lifecycle hooks.
• Log the correct messages to the console within each hook.
• Include a button that updates a reactive data property.
• Use TypeScript for type safety.
• The component should render a simple message like "Lifecycle Tracker Component".

Expected Behavior:

1. When the component is created, the messages from beforeCreate, created, beforeMount, and mounted should be logged to the console in that order.
2. Clicking the "Update Data" button should trigger a data update, causing the beforeUpdate and updated hooks to fire and log their respective messages.
3. When the component is destroyed, the messages from beforeUnmount and unmounted should be logged to the console in that order.

Edge Cases to Consider:

• Ensure the logging messages are clear and distinguishable.
• Consider how the component's state might affect the lifecycle hooks.
• Think about the order in which the hooks are executed.

Examples

Example 1:

Input: Initial component creation
Output: Console logs: "Before Creation", "Created", "Before Mount", "Mounted"
Explanation: These hooks are triggered during the initial creation and mounting of the component.

Example 2:

Input: Clicking the "Update Data" button
Output: Console logs: "Before Update", "Updated"
Explanation: These hooks are triggered when the component's reactive data changes and the DOM is updated.

Example 3:

Input: Component destruction (e.g., parent component is removed)
Output: Console logs: "Before Unmount", "Unmounted"
Explanation: These hooks are triggered when the component is about to be destroyed and has been destroyed.

Constraints

• The component must be written in TypeScript.
• The component should be a functional component using the setup function.
• The component should only use standard Vue features (no external libraries).
• The component should be relatively simple and focused on demonstrating the lifecycle hooks.
• The data update triggered by the button should be a simple change to a reactive variable (e.g., incrementing a counter).

Notes

• Remember that lifecycle hooks are functions that Vue calls at specific points in a component's lifecycle.
• The setup function is the entry point for component logic in Vue 3.
• Use ref from Vue to create reactive variables.
• Consider the timing of each hook and what actions are appropriate to perform within it. For example, DOM manipulation is generally best done in mounted or updated.
• Debugging tools in your browser's developer console will be invaluable for observing the console logs.
