Events

There are two types of events in Aura. A component level (COMPONENT) event and an application level global (APPLICATION) event. A component-level event can be handled by a component itself or by a component that instantiates or contains the component. Where as application-level events are global to the app.

Passing data

Events can also pass data from publisher to listener via aura:attribute property.
