Input event

[Ihromant]

Hi @konsoletyper is something wrong with this PR that you're ignoring it?

[konsoletyper]

I see no purpose for this. How the introduced interfaces can be used in a practical (not toy example) case?

[Ihromant]

I added intermediate UIEvent because it is real intermediate JS interface between generic Event and specific events. Main purpose of this PR is to add InputEvent which I am using. Adding UIEvent can be avoided, but in this case getDetail should be added everywhere.

[konsoletyper]

You should at least add corresponding EventTarget interface. And I still have no idea how exactly you are going to use it in any real-world scenario, at least in this form. Do you just detect the fact of a change in document, or you really check inputType property as well as data to extract something useful? In former case I still don't understand why you need a separate event. In the latter case how exactly you interpret inputType?

[Ihromant]

I have large text area and checking what user is doing with its content before submitting. For this reason I need inputType (together with data) to track changes in this text area. I didn't find other way to achieve this without InputEvent.

Don't get the remark about eventTarget. It is inherited from Event interface, isn't it?

So you basically ignore inputType and data properties, right?

Please, see how other events are implemented. For example, recent TouchEvent

No, I'm using them.

How?

[Ihromant]

How?

For instance, I'm reacting differently on paste than on regular key input.

And please remove UIEvent. While other properties might be useful, your implementation does not provide them. As for detail, it's ugly designed in the standard and can be actually moved to MouseEvent, if you really need it.
