+# Lifecycle Hooks Examples
+
+This document provides examples of how to use lifecycle hooks in Strapi. Lifecycle hooks allow you to execute custom logic at specific points during the lifecycle of your content types.
+
+## Introduction
+
+Lifecycle hooks are functions that get triggered automatically at certain points during the execution of Strapi's API. They provide a way to extend and customize the behavior of your content types without modifying the core functionality.
+
+## Examples
+
+### Before Create Hook
+
+The `beforeCreate` hook is called before a new entry is created. You can use this hook to modify the data before it's saved to the database.
+
+```javascript
+module.exports = {
+  lifecycles: {
+    beforeCreate(data) {
+      // Modify the data before it's saved
+      data.createdAt = new Date();
+    },
+  },
+};
+```
+
+### After Create Hook
+
+The `afterCreate` hook is called after a new entry has been created. You can use this hook to perform actions based on the newly created data.
+
+```javascript
+module.exports = {
+  lifecycles: {
+    afterCreate(result, data) {
+      // Perform actions after the entry is created
+      console.log('New entry created:', result);
+    },
+  },
+};
+```
+
+### Before Update Hook
+
+The `beforeUpdate` hook is called before an existing entry is updated. You can use this hook to modify the data before the update is applied.
+
+```javascript
+module.exports = {
+  lifecycles: {
+    beforeUpdate(params, data) {
+      // Modify the data before the update
+      data.updatedAt = new Date();
+    },
+  },
+};
+```
+
+### After Update Hook
+
+The `afterUpdate` hook is called after an existing entry has been updated. You can use this hook to perform actions based on the updated data.
+
+```javascript
+module.exports = {
+  lifecycles: {
+    afterUpdate(result, params, data) {
+      // Perform actions after the entry is updated
+      console.log('Entry updated:', result);
+    },
+  },
+};
+```
+
+### Before Delete Hook
+
+The `beforeDelete` hook is called before an entry is deleted. You can use this hook to perform actions or validations before the deletion occurs.
+
+```javascript
+module.exports = {
+  lifecycles: {
+    beforeDelete(params) {
+      // Perform actions or validations before deletion
+      console.log('About to delete entry with ID:', params.id);
+    },
+  },
+};
+```
+
+### After Delete Hook
+
+The `afterDelete` hook is called after an entry has been deleted. You can use this hook to perform cleanup actions or trigger other processes.
+
+```javascript
+module.exports = {
+  lifecycles: {
+    afterDelete(result, params) {
+      // Perform actions after the entry is deleted
+      console.log('Entry deleted:', result);
+    },
+  },
+};
+```
+
+## Conclusion
+
+These examples demonstrate how to use various lifecycle hooks in Strapi. By leveraging these hooks, you can extend the functionality of your content types and implement custom business logic at different stages of the content lifecycle.
+
+Remember that lifecycle hooks should be used responsibly and efficiently to maintain the performance of your Strapi application.
