In Caleb’s video, in his screencast series “Custom Form Inputs” Episode “Using a datepicker: Pikaday” he demonstrate using $dispatch to send input event to wire:model.
What I don’t understand is that he is dispatching from the parent div (alpine) but the wire:model attribute is forwarded (from the blade component attribute) to the input inside the alpine div. So the wire:model in the rendered component is down the tree, not up.
I thought $dispatch, dispatched events up not down? If he is only dispatching ‘input’ event, then how does what ever receiving know it’s for this particular model?

Any help will be appreciated!
