There are also other hooks which will be called at different stages of the instance's lifecycle, such as [`mounted`](../api/#mounted), [`updated`](../api/#updated), and [`destroyed`](../api/#destroyed). All lifecycle hooks are called with their `this` context pointing to the Vue instance invoking it.

Since arrow functions are bound to the parent context, `this` will not be the Vue instance as you'd expect, often resulting in errors such as `Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property of undefined` or `Uncaught TypeError: this.myMethod is not a function`.</p>

Since an arrow function doesn't have a `this`, `this` will be treated as any other variable and lexically looked up through parent scopes until found, often resulting in errors such as `Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property of undefined` or `Uncaught TypeError: this.myMethod is not a function`.</p>
