Lifecycle events changedAttribute callback #377

Closed opinel closed 9 years ago

opinel commented 9 years ago

Hi,

Thanks for your great work on getting custom elements in today's browsers. If I am not mistaken, you are supporting the create / attach / detach callbacks of the Custom Element spec. I was wondering why you do not support the changedAttribute callback? Is there a particular technical reason for this decision or was there no explicit use case?

Thanks

/Frank

There is a technical reason, and there's a long discussion at #343. Basically, it's hard to monitor changes to special properties (like dir and tabIndex) in a cross-platform performant way.
