Hi! I’m noticing collections needed in components don’t load automatically. I have to fetch it explicitly on page load.

is there a way to fetch a collection when a component is loaded automatically?

Hi @raelyn, collections should be fetched in your usecase, can you open a ticket so that we check what is the bug on your project?

For your second question, we are adding an onMount trigger, this will be available soon 🙂
