Firstly (α), we create a&nbsp;variable (constant) representing reactive value. Somewhere later, we can register (β) a&nbsp;logic reacting to the signal value changes. Similarly, in a&nbsp;remaining part (γ), we can update the signal value.</p><p>All this is just an&nbsp;example of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event-driven_programming" title="Wikipedia: Event-driven programming">Event-driven programming</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Publish%E2%80%93subscribe_pattern" title="Wikipedia: Publishsubscribe pattern">Publishsubscribe pattern</a> (compare for example with <a href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/fpubsub" title="NPM package: fpubsub">fpubsub library</a>). All three parts can be in some manner independent and still connected to the same reactive entity.</p><p>Signals are implemented in the library as functions. To see current value of signal, just call it without any arguments <code>console.log(signal())</code>. To update the signal value, pass any argument <code>signal('a new value')</code>. For listenning the signal value changes, use <code>S.on(signal, console.log)</code>.</p><p>Similarly to the <code>on</code> function to register DOM events listener. You can use <code>AbortController</code>/<code>AbortSignal</code> to <em>off</em>/stop listenning. For representing “live” piece of code computation pattern:</p><!--<dde:mark type="component" name="example" host="this" ssr/>--><div id="code-example-1-e9cfsaeb64o" class="example"><!--<dde:mark type="component" name="code" host="parentElement" ssr/>--><code class="language-js">import { S } from "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/jaandrle/deka-dom-el/dist/esm-with-signals.js";
