Also, thinking more about your issue proper, it seems the problem is the
interpretation of your Object per se.
What your child element probably needs to know is the string representation
of the JSON object so it can deduce it inside using the JSON.parse() method
I stated earlier.
For that, you could do the following where you are declaring your actual
element:
- Your flag attribute needs to be set via Javacript. A typical jQuery
way would be:
var flagVariable = JSON.stringify(jsobject);
$("child-element").attr("flag", flagVariable);
- Once this is done, within the Polymer declaration of child-element,
you would be getting the attribute "flag" as a string now. There, you could
simply parse that string as JSON.parse(flag) //
This might just work. The reasoning is that string is a streamlined type
used here to pass information, and then interpret it in its correct JSON
format where required. Would love to hear back if this worked [ or was
completely irrelevant - then we could probably dig deeper! :) ]
