## Lifecycle Events

### livecomponent:init

**Fired**: When a LiveComponent is discovered in the DOM but before initialization.

**Use Case**: Prepare component before mounting, modify initial state.

**Event Detail**:
```typescript
{
    componentId: string;      // Unique component ID
    element: HTMLElement;     // Component root element
    props: object;           // Initial component props
}
```

**Example**:
```javascript
window.addEventListener('livecomponent:init', (event) => {
    const { componentId, element, props } = event.detail;

    console.log('Initializing component:', componentId);

    // Modify initial props
    if (props.theme === undefined) {
        props.theme = localStorage.getItem('theme') || 'light';
    }

    // Add custom data attributes
    element.dataset.initialized = Date.now();
});
```

**Common Use Cases**:
- Restore state from localStorage
- Set default props from user preferences
- Initialize third-party libraries
- Track component initialization analytics

---

### livecomponent:mounted

**Fired**: After a LiveComponent is fully mounted and ready for interaction.

**Use Case**: Initialize JavaScript behaviors, start timers, load external data.

**Event Detail**:
```typescript
{
    componentId: string;      // Unique component ID
    element: HTMLElement;     // Component root element
    component: Component;     // Component instance
    props: object;           // Current component props
}
```

**Example**:
```javascript
window.addEventListener('livecomponent:mounted', (event) => {
    const { componentId, element, component } = event.detail;

    // Initialize tooltips
    const tooltips = element.querySelectorAll('[data-tooltip]');
    tooltips.forEach(el => new Tooltip(el));

    // Start auto-refresh timer
    if (component.config.autoRefresh) {
        setInterval(() => {
            component.executeAction('refresh');
        }, component.config.refreshInterval || 30000);
    }

    // Track mount analytics
    analytics.track('component_mounted', {
        component_type: componentId,
        mount_time: Date.now()
    });
});
```

**Common Use Cases**:
- Initialize third-party plugins (charts, maps, editors)
- Start polling/auto-refresh timers
- Bind custom event listeners
- Load deferred content
- Track analytics

---

### livecomponent:updated

**Fired**: After a LiveComponent has been updated (re-rendered).

**Use Case**: React to state changes, update third-party integrations, track updates.

**Event Detail**:
```typescript
{
    componentId: string;      // Unique component ID
    element: HTMLElement;     // Component root element
    component: Component;     // Component instance
    previousProps: object;    // Props before update
    currentProps: object;     // Props after update
    changedProps: string[];   // Names of changed props
    fragments: string[];      // Updated fragments (if partial render)
}
```

**Example**:
```javascript
window.addEventListener('livecomponent:updated', (event) => {
    const { componentId, previousProps, currentProps, changedProps, fragments } = event.detail;

    // Re-initialize elements in updated fragments
    if (fragments.includes('chart-container')) {
        const chartEl = document.querySelector('[data-lc-fragment="chart-container"]');
        initializeChart(chartEl, currentProps.chartData);
    }

    // Track specific prop changes
    if (changedProps.includes('status')) {
        console.log('Status changed:', previousProps.status, '→', currentProps.status);

        if (currentProps.status === 'completed') {
            showSuccessNotification();
        }
    }

    // Update document title
    if (changedProps.includes('unreadCount')) {
        document.title = currentProps.unreadCount > 0
            ? `(${currentProps.unreadCount}) Messages`
            : 'Messages';
    }
});
```

**Common Use Cases**:

}
```

**Example**:
```javascript
window.addEventListener('livecomponent:unmounted', (event) => {
    const { componentId, element, component } = event.detail;

    // Save state to localStorage
    localStorage.setItem(`component-${componentId}`, JSON.stringify(component.props));

    // Clear timers
    if (window.componentTimers[componentId]) {
        clearInterval(window.componentTimers[componentId]);
        delete window.componentTimers[componentId];
    }

    // Destroy third-party instances
    if (window.chartInstances[componentId]) {
        window.chartInstances[componentId].destroy();
        delete window.chartInstances[componentId];
    }

    // Track unmount analytics
    analytics.track('component_unmounted', {
        component_type: componentId,

        window.errorTracker.captureException(error, {
            component: componentId,
            context: context
        });

### livecomponent:validation-error

**Fired**: When server-side validation fails.

**Use Case**: Display validation errors, focus first error.

}
```

**Example**:
```javascript
window.addEventListener('livecomponent:validation-error', (event) => {
    const { componentId, action, errors } = event.detail;

    // Display errors next to fields
    Object.entries(errors).forEach(([field, messages]) => {
        const input = document.querySelector(`[name="${field}"]`);
        const errorEl = input.parentElement.querySelector('.error-message');

        if (errorEl) {
            errorEl.textContent = messages[0];
            errorEl.style.display = 'block';
        }

        input.classList.add('invalid');
    });

    retryAfter: number;      // Seconds until retry allowed
    timestamp: number;       // Rate limit timestamp
}
```

**Example**:
```javascript
window.addEventListener('livecomponent:rate-limit-exceeded', (event) => {
    const { componentId, action, retryAfter } = event.detail;

    // Show countdown toast
    let remaining = retryAfter;
    const toastId = showToast(
        `Rate limit exceeded. Please wait ${remaining} seconds.`,
        'warning',
        { duration: retryAfter * 1000 }
    );

    const countdown = setInterval(() => {
        remaining--;
        if (remaining > 0) {
            updateToast(toastId, `Rate limit exceeded. Please wait ${remaining} seconds.`);
        } else {
            clearInterval(countdown);
            updateToast(toastId, 'You can try again now!');
        }
    }, 1000);
});
```

---

## Event Patterns

### Event Delegation

```javascript
// Instead of listening on each component
document.addEventListener('livecomponent:action-executed', (event) => {
    if (event.detail.componentId.startsWith('notification-')) {
        updateNotificationBadge();
    }
});
```

### Debounced Event Handlers

```javascript
import { debounce } from './utils';

window.addEventListener('livecomponent:prop-updated',
    debounce((event) => {
        if (event.detail.propName === 'searchQuery') {
            updateSearchResults(event.detail.currentValue);
        }
    }, 300)
);
```

### Global Loading Indicator

```javascript
let activeRequests = 0;

window.addEventListener('livecomponent:request-start', () => {
    activeRequests++;
    if (activeRequests === 1) {
        document.body.classList.add('loading');
    }
});

window.addEventListener('livecomponent:request-complete', () => {
    activeRequests--;
    if (activeRequests === 0) {
        document.body.classList.remove('loading');
    }
});

window.addEventListener('livecomponent:request-failed', () => {
    activeRequests--;
    if (activeRequests === 0) {
        document.body.classList.remove('loading');
    }
});
```

### Performance Monitoring

```javascript
window.addEventListener('livecomponent:action-executed', (event) => {
    const { action, duration } = event.detail;

    if (duration > 1000) {
        console.warn(`Slow action: ${action} (${duration}ms)`);
    }

    // Track to analytics
    analytics.track('action_performance', {
        action: action,
        duration: duration
    });
});
```

## Best Practices

1. **Use Event Delegation**: Listen on `window` instead of individual elements
2. **Cleanup Listeners**: Remove listeners in `unmounted` event
3. **Debounce/Throttle**: Use debouncing for high-frequency events
4. **Error Handling**: Always handle errors gracefully
5. **Performance**: Minimize work in event handlers
6. **Analytics**: Track important events for monitoring
7. **User Feedback**: Provide visual feedback for all events
8. **Accessibility**: Announce important events to screen readers
