In which I learn all about polymer.dart. Discuss polymer.dart at [email protected] mailing list. Ask question on Stack Overflow.

Docs that I found useful:

Binding, conditionals: : https://github.com/Polymer/mdv/blob/stable/docs/template.md

• Use <polymer-element> instead of <element>

• Declarative event binding requires custom elements.

• If you use an if attribute on your template, the bind attribute is optional.

• Go through shadowRoot to find nodes inside of your custom element.

• When manually observing an object, the ChangeRecord only has the field name. Not the old and new value. You have to use mirrors to get the new value.

• You should include packages/polymer/boot.js and NOT dart.js.

• Custom tag classes now need @CustomTag('element-name'). There's another way, but to limit confusion, I won't mention it here. :)

• The constructor attribute on is no longer used.

• Null is falsey for MDV if expressions.

• Calling mdv.initialize() is NOT required with boot.js.

• Every custom element must have a Dart class. Use an empty Dart class if necessary. See https://code.google.com/p/dart/issues/detail?id=12254 If you really don't want to create an empty class, use the registerPolymerElement('my-element', () => new PolymerElement()) technique.

• The extends attribute on polymer-element is optional. If you use it, you should use the form of <div is="my-element">. If you omit the extends attribute, you are safe to use <my-element>.

• If you expose a non-String field as a custom attribute on a custom element, be sure to initialize it with a default value. This tells polymer.dart how to convert the text value from the attribute to the correctly typed field in your class for your custom element.

conditional_templates: https://code.google.com/p/dart/issues/detail?id=11983 but this could be my misunderstanding. It is almost certainly my misunderstanding. Keeping in this list to better change the sample.
