What is the best way to push unity Canvas UI events to Entitas?

This seems to work
public class UIEventsToEntitas : MonoBehaviour, IPointerEnterHandler, IPointerExitHandler {
public Entity entity;

internal void Start() {
entity.Retain();
}

internal void OnDestroy() {
entity.Release();
}

public void OnPointerEnter(PointerEventData eventData) {
entity.ReplacePointerState(Enums.PointerState.OVER);
}

public void OnPointerExit(PointerEventData eventData) {
entity.ReplacePointerState(Enums.PointerState.NONE);
}
}

In my current project I don’t redirect them to Entitas. I only translate their effects, e.g. a button that regenerates health for coins, in OnButtonClicked I can do stuff like
pool.playerEntity.ReplaceHealth(pool.playerEntity.health.value + 100);
pool.ReplaceCoins(pool.coins.value - 50);
I currently just convert input from the Unity Input class to actual entities like in Match One InputController
