Re: Custom Events and Elements with Elemental 2

  Users would expect to have events with source from where event was fired. That was source field in GWT events. In your implementation we will need to intercept DOM event and fire new event with source field of custom element. (e.g re-fire through EventHandler). This is kind of double work. 

  Another thing that we need to care about is if add and then remove some custom element from DOM like element.removeChild(customElement.asElement()) we also need to remove reference to custom element to be garbage collected? Since only asElement() is removed from DOM not custom element object itself. If I'm right...

  This is why it would be good if custom element can extends Element and wrap inner element like Widget Composite. 

Btw: Great work there with Elemento especially HTML Templates

We still use the GWT event bus for custom / application scoped events. To listen to DOM event we use what's provided by Elemental2. 

We use a simple interface [1] which is part or Elemento [2] to create custom elements.

custom events:

 Do we still need EventBus or what was HandlerManager for widgets to fire and create custom events or we should use element's  addEventListener and native custom events?

custom element:

  I'm missing Composite from GWT Widgets and its initWidget() method. Any idea how we could implement the same behavior with elemental? Elemental's Element is not interface but class so we can't delegate inner element or something...

Thanks,
