Thanks Gerard, I'll check out Elemento.
Elemental2 is a little lacking on strongly typing events. Eg: Adding this
code:
myElement.addEventListener(BrowserEvents.MOUSEDOWN, event -> {
MouseEvent mouseEvent = Js.cast(event);
...
});
I could mess up on the event name, or the typecast, and I wouldn't know
until runtime.
And unless you read the JS docs, it's not obvious what event name, maps to
what event object.
Having something that strongly types all the events, so it was obvious and
stops you messing up, would be great.
