Started a new project with

```auto
npx makes aurelia test -s webpack,typescript,app-with-router

```

To learn about lifecycles, I add to each \*.ts file in src/ (inside class):

```auto
constructor() {
       console.log('<class> constructor');
}
afterBind() {
       console.log('<class> afterBind');
}
afterAttach() {
       console.log('<class> afterAttach');
}

```

When I test using `npm start`, only the constructor logs show up. Why am I not getting the lifecycle events?

npx --version:  
7.11.1

`afterBind` has been changed to `bound`  
`afterAttach` has been changed to `attached`

Can you try again?

Also, where did you read the documentation related to these lifecycle names?

That worked–thanks!

For lifecycles, you can find the information here [Components Lifecycles - The Aurelia Docs](https://docs.aurelia.io/getting-started/components/component-lifecycles)

I guess @HamedFathi been busy with updating the migration doc

@wayne My Aurelia docs was a test just for API part.

Ignore it. As @bigopon mentioned the official doc available under [https://docs.aurelia.io/](https://docs.aurelia.io/) URL.

About side-by-side comparison (v1 vs v2) you can follow [Components - The Aurelia Docs](https://docs.aurelia.io/side-by-side-comparison/components) too.

I wanted to mention that I stumbled upon the same issue as @wayne. When I google ‘aurelia 1 to 2’:

 ![google-search](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/aurelia/original/2X/2/2848fb99a8f7994af27356978278a2ec5268bc81.png)

And if I opened the first link then a [Gitbook site](https://hamedfathi.gitbook.io/migration/) opens up that has out of date info about the migration process and lifecycle events. It might be a good idea to get it up to date or remove it to avoid some confusion?
