handleClick vs handleDOMEvents

1

Hi there,

Imagine that I have a mention extension on my editor, and mentions added to the editor are of a particular node type with some data-* attributes. I want to be able to detect user clicks on the editor mentions, and be able to extract information from the data-* attributes, and then show an information popover about the mentioned user.

I believe I can achieve this with both handleClick and handleDOMEvents, but I’m wondering which would be the more appropriate one? Thoughts?

Basically, handleClick works in terms of ProseMirror document nodes, and handleDOMEvents works with raw DOM events and DOM nodes. Use whichever is more convenient for your use case.

Since I want to handle clicks on custom ProseMirror nodes, it looks like handleClick is more appropriate based on your reply. Thank you, @marijn :+1:
