Wix team - is there a pending deprecation of functionality in the Repeater API?

Recently I have been advising some users about the scope of the selector variable and how it applies in action handlers like onClick.

I have just noticed that the $w and $w.Repeater documentation has recently changed and now includes an at() function. This is now used in the action handler example for onClick(). I have numerous handler functions using the (event, $w ( scoped )) event call vs. the new model :

I have checks and the $w ( scoped ) implementation is still working. I just want to know when this is likely to stop working :wink:

Thanks
Steve

Its fairly straight forward Omid

Instead of this:


$w('#elementName').onClick(event, $wScopedSelector) {
     // Do stuff with $wScopedSelector
}

You do this

$w('#elementName').onClick(event) {
     $wScopedSelector = $w.at(event.context);
    // Do stuff with $wScopedSelector
}

Good luck
