removal_detection.rs

//! This example shows how you can know when a [`Component`] has been removed, so you can react to it.
//!
//! When a [`Component`] is removed from an [`Entity`], all [`Observer`] with an [`Remove`] trigger for
//! that [`Component`] will be notified. These observers will be called immediately after the
//! [`Component`] is removed. For more info on observers, see the
//! [observers example](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/blob/main/examples/ecs/observers.rs).
//!
//! Advanced users may also consider using a lifecycle hook
//! instead of an observer, as it incurs less overhead for a case like this.
//! See the [component hooks example](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/blob/main/examples/ecs/component_hooks.rs).
