Core concept

Composition: a process that loads a ViewModel and a View using a module loader and bind them in the DOM.
Activation: a process that loads, activate and deactivate a ViewModel module.

Lifecycle

ViewModels in kospa follows the following lifecycle: 1. activate: Load data and initialize the ViewModel before binding it to the DOM. 2. bindingComplete: Run after the ViewModel is bound to the DOM. 3. descendantsComplete: Run after all asynchronous binding are applied to the DOM. 4. compositionComplete: Run when the composition process is complete. 5. deactivate: Run when the ViewModel is unbound from the DOM. 6. dispose: Run before the DOM node is removed.
