Triggering events

Most events will be triggered through the normal workflow. For example, the "beforeSave" event occurs before an Active Record model is saved.
But you can also manually trigger an event using the `trigger` method, invoked on the component with the attached event handler:

The corresponding `off` method removes an event handler:

> Tip: You probably don't want to use anonymous functions for event handlers that you expect to later remove.
Global Events
-------------
You can use "global" events instead of per-component ones. To trigger a global event use an application instance instead
of specific component:
You can use "global" events instead of per-component ones. A global event can take place on any component type.
In order to attach a handler to a global event, call the `on` method on the application instance:
```php
Yii::$app->on($eventName, $handler);
```
Global events are triggered on the application instance instead
of a specific component:
```php
Yii::$app->trigger($eventName);

In order to attach a handler to it use the following:
