Is there a straightforward way to determine the source cell from a handsontable autofill?





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

I'm trying to get handsontable to fill formulas while respecting relative cell references.



I have code which can translate cell references, given the original and destination cell coordinates.



It looks as though the hook I should use for changing the cell formulas is beforeChange, looking for a source of Autofill.fill. But the information about the source cell is not available in this hook.



I see that the startArea and entireArea are available in the modifyAutofillRange hook, but the data itself is not present, nor is the specific mapping from source cell to destination cell. I can re-implement the logic to obtain the source:destination mapping and store that so the beforeChange hook has access to it, but both of those steps feel wrong. Is there a better hook to use for this purpose?
