Why do we need event handlers for dynamically created elements?
It might be a click, which more often than not will need to execute a function. The problem with dynamically created elements, is that they aren’t born with the same event handlers as the existing elements.
What’s the best way to create a repeat template?
In most cases, using loops or Array.map is an efficient way to build repeating templates. However, if you want to reorder a large list, or mutate it by adding and removing individual entries, this approach can involve recreating a large number of DOM nodes. The repeat directive can help here.
What do event listeners look like in HTML?
Templates can also include declarative event listeners. An event listener looks like an attribute binding, but with the prefix @ followed by an event name: This is equivalent to calling addEventListener (‘click’, clickHandler) on the button element.

How to add a dynamic event handler to a static page?

Why is dynamicevent created outside the loop in JavaScript?
It will save us from writing duplicated markup when running the function on both the static and dynamically created elements (which is why dynamicEvent is created outside the loop and simply called). For anyone interested to see how the demo works, utilising the steps above, you can have a look through this and the comments:
