Event handlers turn static UI into interactive software. They should be predictable, fast, and careful about state changes or network calls.
ELI5
Think of Event Handler as a named building block in a big LEGO app. Code that runs when something happens, like a click, key press, or form submit.
In practice
Use it when you are mapping how the app is structured or explaining a feature to a teammate or agent. In practice, define the owner, input, output, and failure mode before you rely on it.
