/*
  Describe how the specified actions should behave in the various
  states that a view can exist in. Possible states:

  * preRender: when a view is first instantiated, and after its
    element was destroyed, it is in the preRender state
  * hasElement: the DOM representation of the view is created,
    and is ready to be inserted
  * inDOM: once a view has been inserted into the DOM it is in
    the inDOM state. A view spends the vast majority of its
    existence in this state.
