One of the really rad things about Polymer (0.5) and webcomponents is that everything is just DOM. You can pretty easily use core- and paper- components libraries inside of an (say) angular app to render out content. Doesn't matter if you're using jQuery raw or ember or what have you- DOM is DOM, and it mostly works (modulo some property / attribute bindings)
The new localDom API seems to indicate that this may no longer be the case- if I'm redistributing DOM content, I need to use the polymer dom interface, rather than just plain parent/child/append calls on document. This seems to indicate that modern polymer isn't going to be compatible with angular, or with any other library that manipulates the DOM, or is it the case that this only matters when there's more complicated shady/light manipulations? As an example, if I have content in the drawer part of a paper-drawer-panel, and then, using jquery or some other element selector, inject nodes inside of the already-projected menu div, will this break things? Or is it only the case that I need to use the local DOM api when if I'm changing the nodes that would be selected as content to project (and not their child nodes)? Is there some way to shim the document-level query selectors in there or add a mutation observer that calls distributeContent as needed? I'm guessing it was this shimming and mutation observer that contributed to the slowness of 0.5 in non-chrome browsers. I've got next week blocked out to actually work on getting angular 1.4 to play nice with polymer 0.9 (we use angular to build the page and manage data, and polymer for handy flexbox directives and material design ui bindings). So I guess I'll figure it out then. e Follow Polymer on Google+: plus.google.com/107187849809354688692 --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Polymer" group.
