Research direction

Start by locating the domDiff implementation and the code path that updates browser nodes. Determine the event payload and scope first, including whether syncScroll belongs in this issue. Done means the intended browser event and any scrolling behavior are specified and covered by appropriate tests.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement

Would allow custom behavior to scroll to updated nodes, highlight them in browser, etc etc.

Also related to a syncScroll feature requested by @leaverou:

You could have a syncScroll setting with options:

  • off (default)
  • auto: scroll to first changed node
  • object literal. filter key: a function to filter out non-relevant nodes. Then you just scroll to the first one.
