I'm trying to do a single page application (SPA) using web components as in the linked example. But with Dart instead of javascript. I'd like to put the whole <core-scaffold> in a Polymer Element. The layout is working as expected, but when I get to the part "Simplifying the markup using a data model" I can't understand how to bind my dart model equivalent to the javascript model in the example. Should this attribute <template is="auto-binding"> be in the main template of the Polymer element, or where does that go? Any pointers from you experts?
Edit: OK, I'm adding some code to this question.
In darteditor i started a new project with the option using polymer library selected. In the created main-html-file all I did was remove the "counter"-attribute in <click-counter>. I added these dependencies paper_elements: 0.5.0, polymer: any I replaced everything in clickcounter.dart with:
import 'package:polymer/polymer.dart';
import 'dart:html';
@CustomTag('click-counter')
class ClickCounter extends PolymerElement {
@observable var route = 0;
@observable List<dynamic> pages = [
{'name': 'Single', 'hash': 'one'},
{'name': 'page', 'hash': 'two'},
{'name': 'app', 'hash': 'three'}
];
ClickCounter.created() : super.created() {
}
}
And I replaced everything in clickcounter.html with:
<link rel="import" href="packages/polymer/polymer.html">
<link rel="import" href="packages/core_elements/core_scaffold.html">
<link rel="import" href="packages/core_elements/core_header_panel.html">
<link rel="import" href="packages/core_elements/core_toolbar.html">
<link rel="import" href="packages/core_elements/core_menu.html">

<link rel="import" href="packages/core_elements/core_animated_pages/transitions/core_transition_pages.html">
<link rel="import" href="packages/paper_elements/paper_item.html">
<polymer-element name="click-counter">
<template>
<style>
</style>
<core-scaffold>
<core-header-panel navigation flex mode="waterfall">
<core-toolbar>Application</core-toolbar>
<core-menu theme="core-light-theme" valueattr="hash" selected="{{route}}">
<template repeat="{{page in pages}}">
<paper-item icon="settings" label="{{page['name']}}" hash="{{page['hash']}}">
<a _href="#{{page['hash']}}"></a>
</paper-item>
</template>
</core-menu>
</core-header-panel>
<div tool>Title</div>
<core-animated-pages selected="{{route}}" transitions="slide-from-right">
<template repeat="{{page in pages}}">
<section hash="{{page['hash']}}" layout vertical center-center>
<div>{{page['name']}}</div>
</section>
</template>
</core-animated-pages>
</core-scaffold>
</template>
<script type="application/dart" src="clickcounter.dart"></script>
</polymer-element>
I run in Dartium, and see a fine layout with the three menu options. The main area has the word "single" at startup, as the first menu option is selected. When I click the second menu option I get this error:
