question about critique from angular

[agd...@gmail.com]

Hi

I can not really decide which of the many available solutions should I use for my next projects.

Polymer looks quite good, but during my research I found this: https://docs.google.com/document/d/16O2Im1ekfdJ4FU8FBbVRYGjqsXjmcV3tYFg1vyfhYC8/edit

I might want to use Polymer with Angular and I worry that the two won't play together.

Are the issues mentioned in the above document still relevant ?

Thanks

Gabor

Yes today there is still the issue that angular cannot bind to data coming out of a Polymer element.

The following issue was a complete blocker for us to use Web components and AngularJS together:

https://github.com/angular/angular.js/issues/8598

In short, Angular hit a known shortcoming of the platform polyfills which meant including the platform script completely broke the app in FF.

Does anyone know if it has been fixed at either end?

I unfortunately can't test right now, but should be a matter of updating the jsbin example to pull the latest versions of Angular and webcomponents-js.

Hi Rob,

Thanks for your answer. I saw that angular can not bind to data from Polymer elements and I also saw a few possible workarounds.

What I tried to find out with my question is whether Polymer tries to address the "problems" that are mentioned in that document ?

From the document I could not find out when it was written.

I saw a talk about the upcoming 0.8 version on youtube and to me it sounded like a major rework so I wondered that maybe such a major rework could also

fix some of those shortcomings.

Thanks

Gabor

Not that I know of. That thread seemed to trail off on the Angular side. Might be worth pinging them again? 

[Rob Dodson]

That doc is new to me so I'm not sure if those points are being specifically addressed. +sorvell who may know more.

I've bumped the thread at https://github.com/angular/angular.js/issues/8598 after confirming that the bug still occurs with the latest version of angular and webcomponents, let's see if we hear back from the Angular team.

As far as I'm concerned, this completely undermines the core idea that webcomponents could be the future bricks that other frameworks such as angular would build upon, and it'd be a shame not to get fixed ASAP so people can actually start experimenting in that direction...

It'd be interesting to hear from people who may have experienced with web components in combination with other frameworks (ember, etc). I must say I haven't seen much in that light online to this date.
