Communication with the outside world

[forbesmyester]

I am not sure how to correctly get an Eve component to communicate with the outside world. I was thinking firing an event would be the correct way to do this but I could not find a suitable way to get the actual dom node the component is attached to.

I could just use a child dom node one via: this.find('some child_selector').trigger('custom_event',value) but this does of course assume there is a child element, which is not necessarily the case.

this.find() with no parameters I expected to return the component itself, but it does other things...

Would it be possible to have .scope() return the scope's dom node or something similar?

That's actually a pretty good idea. I'll look into it when I get a chance. Shouldn't be too difficult to implement.
