What are the different change detection strategies in Angular?

In Angular, there are primarily two change detection strategies: Default and OnPush. Default checks all components, while OnPush only checks when input properties change.

Can you explain how the OnPush strategy works?

Sure! The OnPush strategy optimizes performance by only checking a component when its input properties change, or when an event occurs within the component.

When should I use OnPush instead of Default?

Use OnPush when your component relies on immutable data or when you want to minimize change detection cycles for better performance.

Are there any drawbacks to using OnPush?

Yes, the main drawback is that it can lead to missed updates if you don't manage your data correctly, as it won't check for changes unless specific conditions are met.
