When the change detector of OnPush component of Angular runs?
There are lots posts about how change detector works in Angualr. But I can't find a simple answer about when the change detector runs in OnPush components. I assume you understand how change detection works. If not , here is what you need to know. Angular use both zone.js and change detection. Zone.js modify DOM api(such as event, setTimeout etc), if an api trigger an exection of angular function, angular change detection cycle kick off. However, change detection cycle and change detector are two different concept. Change detector detects change. Change detection cycle does not necessary make change detector detect change. An angular application is a component tree. Each component will has its own change detector. The change detection start from the root components' change detector, all the way to the bottom component's change detector, asking them to detect change inside their components. By default, all change detectors will detect accordingly, unless the a change detector is manually detached by developer or it belongs to an OnPush component.

Create an Angular demo project
When learning Angular or any other framework or we have an idea, we want to quickly create a proof of concept. One way is quickly to quickly go to a online editor, such stackblitz, codepen, and start coding a demo project, then show case to other people of your code. But the problem is that, we quickly forget about the url of the projects, the more we create and the more we forget. So I built a project to serve as container of all demo projects. Here is what you need to do if you want to create new demo.
