Question

Hi i have the following code in my template:

<div {{action "play" this target="view"}}>{{title}}</div>

and the following code in my view:

MB3.PlaylistView = Ember.View.extend({
  play: function(event) {
  }
});

the parameter event passed to the play function is now the playlist model (passed as “this” in the action helper shown above)

In Ember-pre2 the parameter passed to the action handler recieved the browser event with attributes like currentTarget etc. and a property context where the model was in.

How can i access the native event’s parameters like currentTarget in ember-pre4?

There is a lot of discussion on this ticket as well:

The recommended solution would be to create a custom view and then define a click handler. The click handler will be passed the event as the first argument.

MB3.PlayButtonView = Em.View.extend({
  click: function(event){
  ... click handler
  }
});
