Making a plugin listen to every component's lifecycle hooks

[LtdJorge]

Hi all,

I want to know if, apart from mixins, there is a way for a Vue plugin to listen to created, mounted and other lifecycle events. The purpose is to make an instrumentation plugin that is able to report the metrics for component mounting, unmounting, etc.

I'm pretty sure this can be done with mixins, but since those are not recommended, I would like to know if there's another way. So far, I haven't found anything that doesn't require the user of the plugin to call a plugin function on the lifecycle hooks themselves.
