 * {@link module:engine/view/observer/domeventobserver~DomEventObserver#domEventType DOM event type} and
 * {@link module:engine/view/observer/domeventobserver~DomEventObserver#onDomEvent callback}.
 *
 * For instance:
 *
 * ```ts
 * class ClickObserver extends DomEventObserver<'click'> {
 * 	// It can also be defined as a normal property in the constructor.
 * 	get domEventType(): 'click' {
 * 		return 'click';
 * 	}
 *
 * 	onDomEvent( domEvent: MouseEvent ): void {
 * 		this.fire( 'click', domEvent );
 * 	}
 * }
 * ```
 *
 * @typeParam EventType DOM Event type name or an union of those.
 * @typeParam AdditionalData Additional data passed along with the event.
