@ArezComponent

Arez components are defined by the presence of an @ArezComponent annotation on a class or on an interface. The annotation processor detects this annotation and scans the class and all super classes and super interfaces implemented by the class looking for arez-specific annotations. Methods that that are annotated with an Arez annotation and have not been overridden are processed as part of this step.

In the default production mode compilation, Arez components are just collections of observables, observers and computable values that are defined in a single class and share a similar lifecycle. In development mode native components are typically enabled and components have a common name from which all elements contained in the component use as the name prefix. Components instances also define a unique identifier that can be supplied by the developer or synthesized by the runtime.

It is recommended that you review the @ArezComponent API documentation for the full description of how the annotation is used. However there are several other annotations that are component-level concerns. These are @ComponentId for defining identity and the lifecycle callback methods to enable the user to inject custom code at specific points in the components lifecycle.
