Can't trigger events on the login button

[rmeissn]

I wasn't able to trigger e.g. a click event on the login buttons root component.

Why do I want to do this?
I use different menus for login and logout actions. Thus I included the login button as a hidden component to the DOM and used my own buttons/menus to trigger click events on this hidden button.
So I'd like to execute document.getElementById('signin').click(), which didn't work.
I was able to achieve my expected behaviour by executing (vue.js syntax) this.$refs.signin.shadowRoot.children[1].click(). This doesn't seems stable and I guess this is not the expected usage of web components....

The button has the _handleClick function (in code here). You may want to try if this works for you, I use it in the statusbar here

Thanks for pointing me to this function. I ignored it in the first place because _ seemed like a (inofficial) private function. Using this function works for my use-case.
Nevertheless, the correct way for a button (even though it is a web component) would be to issue a click event to the component, instead of calling a function that (most probably) emulates an internal click event. This should be easily addible without breaking the currently provided functions.
