[Question] How to update input.value with vdom?

[svenefftinge]

I'm using a vdom based form with an input field on which I want to reset the value.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work since input.setAttribute('input', newValue) will not update the actual value but only the default one.
How should I solve this? Obtaining the real element and setting the value?

Maybe a special attribute for such browser managed state would be good?

Hi @svenefftinge, the way we have been handling this is to use the created element directly, for example in the menu. In light of the React re-license, we are considering moving to using React as a dependency and deprecating the Phosphor virtual dom, cf #302.

Ok, thanks. I did that, too.
