how to stop ngOnChanges Called before ngOnInit()

Question

In my angular application, i came up with a situation where ngOnchanges should only be called when the inputs are bound to changes. so, is there a way to stop the execution

Answer 1

In case it helps anyone here's an example of how I implemented the isFirstChange() solution suggested by @n00dl3 into my AngularJS app:

this.$onChanges = (changes) => {
    if (!changes.value.isFirstChange()) {
        // do stuff
    }
};
