Component lifecycles

Each component in a wire spec has a well-defined lifecycle that is managed by wire.js. When wire.js processes the spec to create a context, the components in the spec will go through the following lifecycle stages:

1. Create
2. Configure
3. Initialize
4. Ready
5. Destroy

During the Create stage, a factory creates the component instance. Then, during each lifecycle stage (including Create), various facets will be applied to the instance.

When a context is destroyed by calling its destroy() method, the components will go through a final stage. During the Destroy phase, facets can also be applied, although typically these will be specialized facets that help clean up the component and its resources.
