ngOnInit vs ionViewDidLoad in ionic 2 or ionic 2+

Question

Which one will I use for initializing data and why?

ngOnInit() {
    this.type = \'category\';
    this.getData();
    this.setData();
}

ionViewDidLoad()          


        

Answer 1

Both function works the same way, they get called when the view is initially loaded into the DOM.
