  8.  
  9.         repCheck.fire();
  10. 	}
  11.   })

Step 4:- Create Lightning Component : eventHandlerCmp1.cmp

From Developer Console >> File >> New >> Lightning Component

eventHandlerCmp1.cmp [Lightning Component File]

  1.   <aura:component>
  2.     <aura:handler event="c:repCheckboxEvent"  action="{!c.repCheckEnable}"/>	
  3.     <aura:attribute name="selfChildDeal" type="Boolean"/>
  4.     <div class="slds slda-p-around--medium">
