Add target to events

[flexyford]

It would help me to enableEvents on something other than window.

It would be nice to have the following API:

this.get('userActivity').enableEvent(eventName, target, element);

Such that I can do something like this

this.get('userActivity').enableEvent('mouseout', this, '.some-component');

Otherwise, the mouseout event is going to fire on all of windows children, which is every element in the DOM.

This seems like a pretty sane suggestion! I already did something like this for scroll events, we can probably build a similar system + component mixins for this!

[flexyford]

Are you referring to the subscribe function?

[elwayman02]

Yea, basically we would need to maintain a separate list of elements to watch for each event type, though since there are multiple events we may not implement a subscribe method the same way the scroll service is done. I'd have to think through the architecture a little bit more to figure out what kind of DSL makes sense here.

@flexyford I haven't forgotten about this, but I'm going to be on vacation for a few weeks so it may be a while until this issue gets addressed. If you want to take a stab at implementing it, feel free; otherwise I just wanted to give you an update so you know I'm still thinking about it! :)
