before lifecycle methods?

Any chance for a beforeOnDetached lifecycle event?

I am using my Position component’s onAttached method to add the id to an entities at location cache. I tried to use the onDetached method for removing it from that cache but by the time the method fires the Position component is already gone so I can’t find the entity in my cache to remove it.

Would be great to expand on the lifecycle methods to allow for this.

@luetkemj I am following your tutorial and it is actually possible to do right now.

  onDetached() {
    const locId = `${this.x},${this.y}`;
    entitiesCache.delete(locId, this.entity.id);
  }

So this is actually component itself and it still has entity field with his entity it was attached. Although entity does not have Position already, but it does not needed.

@luetkemj I don’t believe the query will have access to the component that was removed/added, but it has access to the entity that was changed
