Vue provides two lifecycle hooks that we can use for debugging purposes: onRenderTracked and onRenderTriggered.
Warning
These hooks are development-mode-only and not called during server-side rendering.
onRenderTracked
Registers a debug hook to be called when a reactive dependency has been tracked by the component's render effect:
1<script setup>
2import { ref, onRenderTracked } from 'vue'
3
4const count = ref(0)
5const count2 = ref(0)
6
7// Called twice, once for count and once for count2
8onRenderTracked((event) => {
9 console.log(event)
10})
11</script>onRenderTriggered
Registers a debug hook to be called when a reactive dependency triggers the component's render effect to be re-run:
1<script setup>
2import { ref, onRenderTriggered } from 'vue'
3
4const count = ref(0)
5
6// Called when we update count
7onRenderTriggered((event) => {
8 console.log(event)
9})
10</script>If you liked this Vue tip, follow me on X to get notified about new tips, blog posts, and more. Alternatively (or additionally), you can subscribe to my weekly Vue & Nuxt newsletter:

Third-party components are often wrapped in a custom component. But in that way, the slots of the third-party component get lost.
