How to programmatically create and bind polymer elements ?

[wessel...@gmail.com]

Hi

I am going to write some more complicated elements like grids that have dynamically created cells with polymer elements in each cell based on the cell type.

To do that I need to create and bind polymer elements programmatically during runtime.

I cannot find any documentation about that.

Is it possible?

How?

Any risks/limitations with polyfills/life cycle/memory leaks?

Thank you

Bernd

Are you looking to instantiate existing elements or register new ones on the fly? If you're just looking to create elements you've already defined, you can just use standard DOM APIs!

var node = document.createElement("my-custom-element");
node.someProperty = "someValue";
this.appendChild(node)

If you're looking to define new ones on the fly, I'm not 100% sure why you'd want to and I'm also not 100% how, so I'll let someone else handle that.

Would injectBoundHTML() be a good solution?

Thank you

Looks interesting. I will give it a try.

Without documentation I am a bit concerned that I might miss memory leaks or problems with polyfills on IE, but seems to be a good starting point.

Hopefully documentation around polymer will become better. Sometimes it is a bit frustrating to find stuff - and Dart overshadows a lot of polymer - which makes it even harder for JavaScript Polymer developers to find anything.

Cheers

Is this supported in Polymer 1.0? I can't find it anywhere. Is there an alternative?
