event lifecycle

An event lifecycle is the process that describes how a computer program responds to actions like clicks or keystrokes. It begins when an event is created or triggered by an action. The system then captures and processes this event, often passing it through a chain of handlers or functions designed to respond appropriately. After the response, the event lifecycle concludes, but it may lead to further events or updates in the application. Understanding this cycle helps developers manage how programs react to user inputs efficiently and predictably.
