+=== Lazy-init ===
+By default, components are always initialized (call of ''init'' function) right after being created. For components flagged as //lazy-init// though, if the component is disabled on creation, the initialization is delayed until the component is enabled for the first time.
+<code lua>
+local standardComp = nil
+local lazyInitComp = nil
+level:createObject(function(_newObject)
+    standardComp = _newObject:addComponent("STANDARD_COMPONENT")
+    standardComp:setEnabled(false)
+    lazyInitComp = _newObject:addComponent("LAZY_INIT_COMPONENT")
+    lazyInitComp:setEnabled(false)
+end)
+-- at the end of createObject, only standardComp is initialized because it is disabled, but not lazy-init
+-- when enabling lazyInitComp, since it's enabled for the first time, it is initialized at the same time
+lazyInitComp:setEnabled(true)
