event bus questions

In Vue.js, a global event bus is a pattern used for cross-component communication, allowing different components to emit and listen to events outside of their hierarchical structure. An event bus is typically created by instantiating a new Vue instance and using it to manage event emission and listening. For example, `const eventBus = new Vue()` creates an event bus, and components can use `eventBus.$emit('eventName', data)` to emit events and `eventBus.$on('eventName', callback)` to listen for them. However, this pattern is less favored in modern Vue applications, with Vuex or the Composition API being recommended alternatives for managing state and communication.
