• Add support for @eventdata of type Component
  Commit · Pull request

  Makes it possible to use event data expressions that map to any Component / Element from server side state tree. For example it will be possible to use: - @EventData("event.target") Component eventTarget for @DomEvent - @EventData("event.target") Element eventTarget for @DomEvent - DomEventRegistration::addEventDataElement(String expression) to get any element mapped, - and fetch it with `DomEvent::getEventDataElement(String expression) Follow up for #11992, #3356

• Introduce event.target element to DOM event
  Commit · Pull request

  Makes is possible to obtain the Element instance on the server side that corresponds to event.target for a DOM event. The mapping needs to be explicitly enabled with DomListenerRegistration.mapEventTargetElement() for it to work. Next steps would be to introduce an API to certain component events that leverage the API, or generalizing the API so that one could give out an JS string that would be mapped instead of event.target. Closes #3356
