What's a good example of using Polymer.dom(event)?

[Kevin Ashcraft]

I'm trying to add an on-tap listener to a custom element, but do not know how to use Polymer.dom(event) to retarget the click/tap.

Hi Kevin,

Did you ever get an answer here? I think the answer is that you'd use it in your event handling code to get the correct path, localTarget and rootTarget.

So if your page handles an event fired by element A inside a element B's local DOM, Polymer.dom(event).localTarget would return element B, while Polymer.dom(event).rootTarget would return element A.

Hey arthure! :) 

I hadn't figured out how to use it, but did discover that when an event is fired I could get the root dom-module target via e.target.lightParent

Thanks for replying! I'm sure I'll be needing Polymer.dom(event) soon enough.
