The Polymer library is in maintenance mode. For new development, we recommend Lit.

You're viewing an older version of the Polymer library documentation. Please see Polymer 3.0 for the latest.

This release includes the following fix:

  • #4984. Fixes a regression introduced in release 1.11.1, where the :-webview-any and :-moz-any selectors were tranformed incorrectly when used following a :host-context selector. This resulted in the affected rule and any following rules in the stylesheet being ignored. For example, the following selector would cause the issue:

    :host-context([dir=rtl]) :-webview-any(.b1, b2)

This release includes the following fixes:

  • #4902. Allow arbitrary whitespace between style module names in the include attribute. This allows for tabs and line breaks, for example:

    <style include="one-module two-module three-module
    four-module">
    
  • #4952. Fix :dir selector to handle a few more complicated use cases:

    • other-custom-element:dir()
    • :dir() in a shadowroot should behave like *:dir()
    • A few cases where the dir attribute is set inside of a shadowroot.
  • #4961. touchend listeners do not need to
    be passive to enable more performant scrolling.

    With this change, most of the tradeoffs with enabling passiveTouchGestures disappear. For example, you can prevent a synthetic click event from being generated from a tap by calling preventDefault from the up listener.

    The only limitation when using passiveTouchGestures is that you can't control scrolling from track, down, and move gesture event listeners.

This release includes the following new features:

  • :dir() CSS selector is now supported.

    The :dir() selector allows for writing text-orientation specific styling. More information on MDN.

    Use of :dir() requires the application to set the dir attribute on <html>. All elements will use the same direction (that is, setting the dir attribute on the element itself or on one of the element's ancestors has no effect).

  • custom styles with complex selectors (html *, html:not([foo]) .bar) are now supported correctly.

This release includes the following features and fixes:

This release adds support for a new passiveTouchGestures setting. This can be set by defining a Polymer object before loading polymer.html, as described in Global settings.

<script>
window.Polymer = {passiveTouchGestures: true}
</script>

Using passive listeners may improve scrolling performance, at the cost of being unable to control scrolling by calling preventDefault on a gesture event.

Instead, elements must use Polymer.Gestures.setTouchAction(node, 'direction').

The passiveTouchGestures setting is false by default and is meant as an opt-in.

This release adds support for Polymer 2 hybrid styles with :host, html selector. This is the best replacement for :root selector in style modules.

This release fixes the following issue:

  • #4550. For elements using disable-upgrade, the detached callback should now only be called after the element has upgraded.

This release fixes two issues related to 2.0 hybrid element support.

  • Fix use of this.resolveUrl() function in the properties block. This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9.0.

  • Fix hybrid use of dom-if, dom-bind, and dom-repeat with 2.x wrapper elements to stamp content above the wrapper

    Example

    <!-- content should be stamped here -->
    <dom-bind>
      <template is="dom-bind">
        <!-- content -->
      </template>
    </dom-bind>
    

This release adds two new properties to all Polymer elements for forward-compatibility with 2.0 (for use in "2.0 hybrid" elements): importPath and rootPath.

  • The importPath property defaults to the element's HTMLImport document URL path.

  • The rootPath property defaults to the main document URL's path but may be globally overridden using Polymer = { rootPath: '...' } prior to loading polymer.html.

Inside element templates, users can now use property binding (e.g. src$="[[importPath]]foo.jpg" or src$="[[rootPath]]foo.png") to explicitly declare what the URL is relative to, rather than relying on Polymer 1.x's automatic URL rewriting, which has been removed in 2.x.

It may be useful to override rootPath to provide a stable application mount path when using client side routing so that an element template can refer to "application absolute" paths.

For more information, see URLs in templates in the 2.0 docs.

This release adds several small performance-related features.

This release includes two new global settings to suppress unnecessary notifications. These settings must be enabled before loading the Polymer import (polymer.html) as described in Global settings.

  • Suppress template notifications.

    Usage:

    Polymer = { suppressTemplateNotifications: true }
    

    When true, suppresses dom-change and rendered-item-count events from dom-if, dom-repeat, and dom-bind elements. Users can opt back into dom-change events by setting the notify-dom-change attribute (notifyDomChange: true property) on individual dom-if and dom-repeat instances.

    <template is="dom-repeat" notify-dom-change>
      ...
    </template>
    
  • Suppress binding notifications.

    Usage:

    Polymer = { suppressBindingNotifications: true }
    

    Disables notify effects when propagating data downward via bindings. Generally these are not useful unless you are explicitly adding a binding and a change event listener on the same element:

    <my-el foo="{{foo}} on-foo-changed="handleFoo"></my-el>
    

    With this binding, when the host changes the value of foo, its handleFoo method is invoked to handle the change event. This pattern is generally unnecessary since the host element doing the binding can use a foo observer.

    With suppressBindingNotifications: true, the event isn't fired when the host changes the value (but is still fired if my-el changes its foo value internally.)

    We attempted to make this the default some time back but needed to revert it when we found via issue #3077 that users were indeed doing this in corner-case scenarios. Users that avoid these patterns can enjoy the potentially significant benefit of suppressing unnecessary events during downward data flow by opting into this flag.

This release adds a disable-upgrade attribute API for all Polymer elements when global opt-in setting disableUpgradeEnabled is true. This is a lightweight feature useful for performance tuning an application, giving fine-grained control over individual element instantiation cost.

When an element is marked with the disable-upgrade attribute, its createdCallback returns early without performing any of the normal Polymer element initialization steps (for example, stamping template, setting default properties, running observers, and so on). The element behaves like an element that has not had its definition loaded, except that it has the correct prototype (as such, methods should not be called on the element until its disable-upgrade attribute has been removed).

Removing the disable-upgrade attribute causes the element to boot up, initialize its properties, stamp its template, and so on.

Note this feature is implemented as an attribute API only. There is no corresponding disableUpgrade property. As such, any bindings should be via attribute bindings. For example:

<script src="/bower_components/webcomponentsjs/webcomponents-lite.js"></script>
<script>
  Polymer = { disableUpgradeEnabled: true };
</script>
<link rel="import" href="/bower_components/polymer/polymer.html">

  ...

<template is="dom-bind">

  ...

  <!-- upgrade my-element when loggedIn == true -->
  <my-element disable-upgrade$="{{!loggedIn}}"></my-element>

</template>

The strip-whitespace attribute is now recursive to descendant templates, stripping whitespace from nested <template is="dom-repeat"> and <template is="dom-if> elements.

For information on the strip-whitespace attribute, see Remove empty text nodes.

This release includes a set of bug fixes, including an update to the <slot> support originally included in release 1.7.0.

This release fixes an issue (#4109) that prevented text nodes from being distributed to the default <slot>.

For native shadow DOM v1, a default slot doesn't match children with an explicit slot name (that is, a slot="slot_name" attribute). In release 1.7.0, Polymer attempted to emulate this feature by transforming a default slot into the following <content> element:

Unfortunately, the :not() selector only matches elements, not text nodes, so text nodes were not distributed to the default slot. For example, given a custom element with a text node as a child:

Some text

The string "Some text" would not distribute to a default slot inside <my-element>.

Now, a default <slot> element is translated to a default <content> element, which accepts all distributed children that haven't matched a previous <content> element. This means that for hybrid elements, all named slots must come before any unnamed slots in the DOM.

For example, given this set of slots:

<slot name="header"></slot>
<slot></slot>
<slot name="footer"></slot>

Content with slot="footer" is distributed to the default slot in 1.7.1, but distributed to the last slot in 2.0.

  • #3964 Fixed IE memory leaks in the fire and importHref methods.

  • #4096. dom-repeat and dom-if occasionally log errors.

  • #4123. Fix memory leak when using importHref.

  • #4125. CSS custom properties cannot be queried in elements that do not apply properties. This problem manifested when an element did not apply any custom property values in its local DOM, but tried to retrieve a custom property value imperatively with getComputedStyleValue.

  • #4128. On touch devices, when a <button> is covered by a Polymer element that uses gestures (for example, one with a down listener) and the Polymer element is moved, the <button> does not receive mouse events for 2.5s.

This release includes forward compatibility features that let you build elements that run under both Polymer 1.7+ and Polymer 2.0.

The syntax changes described here are not required for current Polymer 1.x elements, but using the new syntax makes for an easier transition to 2.x. The Polymer team plans to provide a tool to automate these and other changes required for moving from 1.x to 2.0, so if you have a large project, you may want to wait for an announcement about the migration tool.

To provide a smooth migration path from Polymer 1.x to 2.x, this release lets you opt-in to using the new <slot> element, and ::slotted() CSS selector from shadow DOM v1 in place of the <content> element and ::content selector from shadow DOM v0. (This release doesn't actually add support for shadow DOM v1, it just lets you use a forward-compatible syntax.) )

To update an element:

  • Each <content> insertion point must be changed to <slot>.

  • Insertion points that selected content using <content select="selector"> must be changed to named slots: <slot name="slot_name">. Note that in shadow DOM v1, distributed content can only be selected by slot name, not by tag name, attributes or CSS classes.

  • Users of your element must use the matching new slot="slot_name" attribute to distribute content into a named slot.

  • Any ::content CSS selectors must be replaced with ::slotted(selector), where selector is compound selector that identifies a top-level distributed child. That is, ::slotted(.foo) is equivalent to ::content > .foo.

    In shadow DOM v1, you cannot select a descendant of a top-level distributed child. For example, ::slotted(*) .child does not work. No descendant selectors can follow the ::slotted() selector.

In Polymer 1.7, elements written with slots are re-written at runtime into the equivalent <content> elements and style rules, to work with shadow DOM v0.

As written:

<dom-module id="x-forward-compat">
  <template>
    <style>
      #container ::slotted(.foo) {
        color: red;
      }
      #namedContainer ::slotted(*) {
        border: 2px solid black;
      }
    </style>
    <div id="namedContainer">
      <slot name="named"></slot>
    </div>
    <div id="container">
      <slot></slot>
    </div>
  </template>
</dom-module>

After runtime transform:

<dom-module id="x-forward-compat">
  <template>
    <style>
      #container ::content > .foo {
        color: red;
      }
      #namedContainer ::content > * {
        border: 2px solid black;
      }
    </style>
    <div id="namedContainer">
      <content select="[slot=named]"></content>
    </div>
    <div id="container">
      <content></content>
    </div>
  </template>
</dom-module>

Note that Polymer doesn't transform code that uses this element. Anywhere you're using x-forward-compat, you'd have to change to the new slot syntax:

<x-forward-compat>
  <h2 slot="named">I'm the named content</h2>
  <span>This content goes to the default slot.</span>
</x-forward-compat>

For more details about transitioning to <slot>, see the 2.0-preview README.

The runtime transformation does not produce a perfect representation of the v1 slot algorithm. In particular, multiple levels of shadow trees with named slots are problematic. For example, the following templates do not work correctly under 1.7 (although they're valid under shadow DOM v1):

<dom-module id="x-child">
  <template>
    <slot name="child-slot"></slot>
  </template>
</dom-module>

<dom-module id="x-parent">
  <template>
    <x-child>
      <slot name="parent-slot" slot="child-slot"></slot>
    </x-child>
  </template>
</dom-module>

To make this work with 1.7, the same slot name must be used at each level. For example, the parent could change to use the name child-slot.

<dom-module id="x-parent">
  <template>
    <x-child>
      <slot name="child-slot" slot="child-slot"></slot>
    </x-child>
  </template>
</dom-module>

Another Polymer 2.x change is removing the :root selector and replacing it with html in <style is="custom-style">, and :host > * in element styles.

This release allows for using both html and :root in <style is="custom-style">, and using both :root and :host > * in element styles

#3676. The preserve-content attribute does not protect style tags nested in templates.

#3836. var() functions rewritten incorrectly with useNativeCSSProperties=true.

#3957. VoiceOver/iOS: Anchors do not fire tap.

#3965. Performance regression on IE11.

New features:

  • #3736. Even lazier lazyRegister. When lazyRegister is set to max, behaviors are evaluated at the first element instance, which places a few new restrictions on the behaviors. When lazyRegister is max, defer all behavior work until first element creation. When set, a behavior cannot setup an element's is or custom constructor via defining factoryImpl. We do call beforeRegister on the prototype to preserve the ability to use it in ES6. This orders the element prototype's beforeRegister before behaviors' rather than after, as in the normal case.

  • #3786. Add noUrlSettings settings flag. When this settings option is set, Polymer settings can only be sent from a script in the page. In other words, URL query parameters such as ?dom=shadow will be ignored.

Bug fixes:

  • #2448. Rewrite links to be relative to source document rather than to where the element is loaded.

  • #3818. Correctly handle values of inherit and initial in apply shim.

  • #3802. Ensure that apply shim produces correct properties in shared elements.

  • #3803. Handle values of initial and inherit correctly in the CSS custom property shim.

  • #3801. Calculate custom properties in style host before element so that scope's styles are ready to be inspected by the element for matching rules.

  • #3800. When nativeCSSCustomProperties was true, updateStyles mistakenly attempted to unapply all existing inline style properties and then set the given properties. It has been fixed to only unapply properties that were previously set via updateStyles (and then set the given properties).

  • #3779. When an attribute and a property are present at upgrade time, the property should win.

  • #3677. Firing value-changed should not cause repeated value change on the element itself.

  • #3784. Fire tap event on touchscreen tap followed by mouse click.

  • #3770. Fix rules inside media queries for IE 10 and 11.

  • #3190. Handle complex default values (such as gradient) correctly in custom property shim.

  • #3645. Add missing iron-component-page dev dependency needed for viewing the repo's docs.

New features:

  • Added support for native custom CSS properties.

    To use, set lazyRegister and useNativeCSSProperties to true in Polymer settings. For example, you could insert the following script block before importing polymer.html:

    <script>
      Polymer = {
        lazyRegister: true,
        useNativeCSSProperties: true
      };
    </script>
    

    Enabling the feature only impacts browsers that support native custom CSS properties (Chrome and Firefox; Safari 9+ supports custom properties, but is buggy and thus opted out for now). On these browsers, normal custom CSS properties such as --custom-property: value will use native properties; custom CSS mixins such as --custom-mixin: { ... } and their @apply points of usage will be destructured into individual custom properties once at registration time such that native properties are used for all custom properties. This eliminates all instance time work related to the custom property shim, which should provide substantial performance gains.

    Caveats: When native custom properties are in use, Polymer's updateStyles(...) API is supported with one exception: calling updateStyles to change the value of custom CSS mixins is not supported.

  • Integrated support for polymer-css-build.

    The CSS build performs Shady DOM CSS selector shimming as well as destructuring custom CSS mixins to individual properties, which can help eliminate all runtime cost of Shady DOM style shimming, as well as all runtime cost of custom property shimming (on browsers with native CSS properties). Achieving optimal results may require selectively serving different built CSS depending on client capabilities. See that repo for details on how to run the build.

  • Added support for defining CSS custom properties in @media queries

    The following use of CSS custom properties inside @media rules is now supported, allowing for dynamic change of custom property values based on media features, like screen size:

    <style>
      @media (max-width: 400px) {
        :host {
          --gutter-width: 16px;
        }
      }
    </style>
    

    For browsers that don't support custom properties, call Polymer.updateStyles() to re-evaluate the media queries upon window resize. The Polymer team chose not to include a window resize listener in the Polymer core library because there are performance and responsiveness tradeoffs depending on whether it should be called on every resize or throttled somehow. Here's a basic example that ensures styles are updated on window resize, throttled to one update per 100ms.

    (function() {
      var resizeDebouncer;
      addEventListener('resize', function() {
        resizeDebouncer = Polymer.Debounce(resizeDebouncer, Polymer.updateStyles, 100);
      });
    })();
    

Bug fixes:

  • #3705. Ensure that custom property shim correctly re-calculates custom property style values when global <style is="custom-style"> elements are loaded asynchronously (e.g. via lazy-loading).

  • #3734. Ensure that lazy-loaded element definitions result in tree-order upgrades when using importHref(). This should result in more deterministic behavior when using lazy-load patterns.

  • #3722. Observers and computed functions now always receive the current value of a property. This addresses errors caused by stale values that occurred when a property value was changed synchronously in its own observer.

  • #3749. Fix selectors like :host(.foo)::after in Shady DOM.

  • #3748. Fix selectors like :host[inline] in Shady DOM.

  • #3739. Correctly shim :host(.element-name) as element-name.element-name.

  • #3530. Force element to recalculate its style properties when it's reinserted into the DOM. This fixes a confusing issue where calling updateStyles() before an element was attached had no effect.

  • #3730. Fix behavior of Polymer.dom(node).nextSibling. In some situations, it was being set to the nextSibling in the browser DOM, when it should have been null.

  • #3631. Listening for foo.bar.* was incorrectly triggering foo.bars.

  • #3555. Ensure selectors including ::content without a prefix inside a complex selector are shimmed correctly and do not leak to the global scope. For example, button, ::content button { ... } was getting incorrectly shimmed as buttom.custom-element, button { ... }.

  • #3567. Ensure that preventDefault works in tap handlers when the source is a touch. Previously it was only working when the source was a click.

This release includes one new feature:

  • Polymer.Gestures.resetMouseCanceller: New API for resetting the "mouse canceller" that prevents mouse event driven gestures when using a touch screen. This API is most likely to be useful for testing.

This release includes the following bug fixes:

  • #2350, #2415, #3179, #3239. Refactor how observers get their arguments.

  • #3179. Make notifyPath's value argument optional.

  • #3364 When a dom-bind, dom-if or dom-repeat is in the main document, binding a value to class attribute doesn't work correctly in Shady DOM.

  • #3515. Changes in dynamic computed functions don't get triggered in dom-if templates.

  • #3525: Make lazy registration compatible with platforms (like IE10) on which a custom element's prototype must be simulated.

  • #3531. Give the detached callback the same "wait for first paint" semantics as the attached callback for consistency. Prior to this fix, in some cases it was possible for detached to fire before attached.

  • #3546 Compute and use correct annotation value during config. This fix prevents some bindings (such as compound bindings and negated binding values) from receiving the incorrect value during configuration.

  • #3661 Re-use cached style element that needs to be replaced in the document rather than creating a new one.

This release includes one new feature:

  • #3508. Support lazy registration of elements. When enabled, this defers most of the work performed at registration time until the first instance of an element is created. If your page includes definitions for many custom elements that are not included in the initial page load, this can improve start-up time by deferring actions like template parsing, style shimming, and data system set up until the elements are used.

    For example, if the only instance of an elements is inside a dom-if template, the more expensive registration actions are deferred until the dom-if instantiates its contents (when its condition changes to true).

    Lazy registration is opt-in for now.

    To enable lazy registration, add a lazyRegister property with a value of true to the global settings object.

    <script src="components/webcomponentsjs/webcomponents-lite.js"></script>
    <script>
      window.Polymer = {lazyRegister: true};
    </script>
    <!-- import polymer.html or any elements that depend on Polymer -->
    

    If you have specific element that relies on the default (immediate) registration behavior, call ensureRegisterFinished on its prototype:

    var EagerElement = Polymer({ is: "eager-element"});
    EagerElement.prototype.ensureRegisterFinished();
    

    This ensures that your element doesn't use lazy registration, even if the global lazyRegister flag is set.

    As of this release there is a known issue with the neon animation elements not working when lazy registration is enabled.

This release includes one bugfix:

  • #3500. Properties starting with an uppercase letter, like FPS, no longer reflect to attributes.

    Prior to v1.3.0, a property like FPS reflected incorrectly to the attribute fps. With v1.3.0, FPS reflected to -f-p-s, which is treated as invalid by setAttribute, causing some bindings to throw exceptions. With this change, properties that start with an uppercase letter do not reflect. If such a property is configured to reflect, Polymer prints a warning to the console.

This release fixes the following issues:

  • #3461. Using var() in a css mixin or custom property definition breaks the scoped style of the element. For a full description of this issue, see Known issues in release 1.3.0.

  • #3484. A dom-bind may render before the entire document is loaded. This may result in a script which expects to install API on a dom-bind running after it renders, resulting in unexpected behavior.

This release includes the following new features:

  • #2348. Allow late upgrading of bound elements. Fixed an issue where setting properties on an un-upgraded element Polymer's setters, preventing property effects (bindings, observers, and computed properties) from working.

  • #3023. Add support for [attribute~="value"] selector.

  • #3299. Support dynamic functions for computed annotations. See Support for dynamic functions in bindings for details.

  • #2399. Add support for custom properties in @keyframes rules.

  • #2486. Allow newlines in computed binding argument list. For example:

    <div hidden$="[[_someVeryLongFunctionName(
        someVeryLongArg,
        anotherCrazyLongArg)]]">
    

This release fixes the following issues:

  • #1715. Allow two-way binding for negated expressions. (For example, checked="{{!hidden}}".)
  • #1727. Eliminate the need to add :host or other selector in front of ::content in some situations. This applies if the <content> tag is a top-level local DOM child, and there are no other local DOM nodes that could match the selector, for example:

    <template>
      <content></content>
    </template>
    
If you are using a wrapper element around the `<content>` tag as described
in [Styling distributed children](/1.0/docs/devguide/styling#styling-distributed-children-content)
you should keep using the wrapper. For example:

```
<dom-module id="styled-content">
  <template>
    <style>
      .wrapper ::content * {
        color: red;
      }
    </style>
    <h2>I am in local DOM</h2>
    <div class="wrapper">
      <content></content>
    </div>
  </template>
  <script>
    Polymer({ is: 'styled-content' });
  </script>
</dom-module>
```

Changing this selector to `::content *` results in the `<h2>` element
being styled red under shady DOM, because the style rule is rewritten as
`styled-content *`.
  • #2291. Make isDebouncerActive actually return a boolean.

  • #3063. Templatizer: bug in templatize depending on the parent properties. In certain circumstances, an element using the Templatizer behavior could throw the error "Uncaught TypeError: template._propertySetter is not a function".

  • #3206. Camel case declared properties with single letter in the middle are ignored. (For example, align-x-axis did not map to alignXAxis.) This was a regression introduced by a performance improvement in 1.2.2.

  • #3221. Custom properties don't use default values if they contain parenthesis. For example:

    background-image: var(--foo-background-image, url(http://placehold.it/400x300));
    
  • #3222. Fix for scoping when class is not specified on element.

  • #3288. Fixed a case where attribute bindings set a property where they should not have. For details, see Attribute binding fix.

  • #3326. Fix incorrect CSS specificity when using custom properties. For details, see CSS specificity changes.

  • #3349. Allow binding to a path that includes a dash. (For example, "{{foo.some-value}}".)

  • #3365. Behavior callbacks can be called multiple times when a behavior appears more than once in the flattened behavior list.

  • #3405. Unexpected tap event from child when parent fires track events.

  • #3443. Attributes bindings initially set to false are configured to true.

  • #3446. Elements without property effects do not receive configured properties.

  • #3354. Fix ordering of property effects.

  • #3373. dom-template: Parent properties should not override argument-based properties.

  • #3442. Restrict early property set to properties that have accessors. This allows users to set properties in created which are listed in properties but which have no accessor.

Computed bindings and observers will trigger when a function changes. Computed bindings on functions can be used to lazily trigger bindings on external changes, or encapsulate dependencies.

A good example is a translate function for i18n that depends on external translation tables.

Example

<dom-module id="i18n-string">
  <template>
    [[translate(input)]]
  </template>
  <script>
  Polymer({
    is: 'i18n-string',
    properties: {
      translate: {
        type: Function,
        computed: '_computeTranslateFn(translationService)'
      },
      translationService: {
        type: Function,
        value: function() {
          return function(str){ return str + 'ish'; };
        }
      }
    },
    _computeTranslateFn: function(ts) {
      return function(str) {
        return ts(str);
      }
    }
  });
  </script>
</dom-module>

<!-- initially displays "helloish" -->
<i18n-string input="hello"></i18n-string>

In this example, <i18n-string> can wait for translationService to be set before attempting translations, and updates update translations when translationService is changed. This encapsulates the dependency on translationService in the computed translate function, so it doesn't need to be included in the binding.

Prior to Polymer v1.3.0, a bug existed related to attribute bindings to unknown attributes (that is, attributes that do not map to properties that Polymer creates accessors for). The bug resulted in the value of the attribute being mirrored to a property of the same name once (but subsequent changes in the attribute were not mirrored).

Polymer's contract is to only deserialize attributes to properties that Polymer is managing. That is, properties declared in the properties object or used as dependencies to bindings, observers, or computed functions. You should review your code to ensure that you're not relying on the unintentional one-time deserialization of unknown attributes. For example, the following will not initialize the property foo:

<!-- binding to unknown attribute: will not deserialize to property -->
<button foo$="{{property}}">`
// Passes:
assert(button.getAttribute('foo') == this.property);
// Fails:
assert(button.foo == this.property);

If you need to access the property value of a bound element, you should ensure you are binding to a property as opposed to an attribute:

<!-- binding to unknown property always works -->
<button foo="{{property}}">
// Passes:
assert(button.foo == this.property);

This release fixes an issue with CSS specificity, where rules that applied custom properties improperly received higher specificity than a rules with no custom properties.

<dom-module id="x-foo">
  <template>
    <style>
      :host {
        background: var(--foo, red);
      }
      :host(.zap) {
        background: orange;
      }
    </style>
    <content></content>
  </template>
  <script>Polymer({is: 'x-foo'});</script>
</dom-module>

<x-foo>i am red</x-foo><br>
<x-foo class='zap'>I should be orange</x-foo>

This fix changes how some styles are shimmed, and may change how some styles are displayed under shady DOM. In particular: rules defined in a :host selector inside an element's local DOM should be lower specificity than an type selector in the main document:

<!-- main document -->
<style>
  my-element {
    color: red;
  }
</style>

<my-element>I should be red.<my-element>

<!-- my-element.html -->
<dom-module>
  <template>
    <style>
      :host {
        color: blue;
      }
    </style>
    <content></content>
  </template>
  <script>
    Polymer({ is: 'my-element'});
  </script>
</dom-module>

With this change, the text in this example renders (incorrectly) as blue under shady DOM. Using a custom-style element for document-level styling corrects this issue:

<style is="custom-style">
  my-element {
    color: red;
  }
</style>

If this solution isn't possible, you can also use a more specific selector in your document styles (for example, a class selector).

The following issue was discovered after the release of 1.3.0:

  • #3461. Using var() in a css mixin or custom property definition breaks the scoped style of the element. An element with styles like the following triggers this bug:

    <style>
      :host {
        color: white;
        // Apply a custom property when defining a custom property
        --my-property: var(--another-property);
        // OR:
        --my-mixin: {
          // Apply a custom property inside a mixin
          background: var(--my-background);
        }
      }
    </style>
    

    This issue will be fixed in the next release.

    As a temporary workaround, you can add the following ruleset at the beginning of the element's styles (before all other styles).

    /* Workaround for issue #3461 */
    :host {
      --workaround: inherit;
      color: var(--workaround);
      /* existing rules below */
        }
    

This release fixes the following issues:

  • Fixes 2407. scopeSubtree doesn't work on SVG elements.

  • Fixes 2506. Fix for method parsing in computed bindings.

  • Fixes 2555. Produce nicer error on malformed observer.

  • Fixes 2617. Added polymer-mini.html and polymer-micro.html to Bower distribution.

  • Fixes 2645. Improve performance of Polymer.dom prevSibling, nextSibling operations.

  • Fixes 2666. Fix using value$ on input element.

  • Fixes 2704. Fix compound bindings with braces in literals.

  • Fixes 3018. Avoid throwing with invalid keys/paths. Recent changes caused calls that used to fail gracefully on unexpected input to throw exceptions, which could cause unexpected breakage. For example, the following calls improperly generated an exception:

    • Calling Polymer.Collection.getItem(key) with an undefined key.
    • Calling Polymer.Base.notifyPath(path, value) where the path cannot be dereferenced to the leaf.

    These now fail gracefully again.

  • Fixes 3065. Add dom-repeat.renderedItemCount property.

  • Fixes 3076. The beforeRegister callback was being called twice.

  • Fixes 3077. Listeners on data-change events may not be called if the property is bound. This was a regression introduced in Release 1.2.2.

  • Fixes 3083. Remove closures holding element references after mouseup/touchend.

  • Fixes 3084. Bindings with wildcard arguments to inline computing functions fail to parse Include wildcard character in identifier.

  • Fixes 3108. Moves debounce functionality from polymer-micro to polymer-mini. The functionality belongs in the mini layer and was never actually functional in micro.

  • Fixes 3113. Add an optional async argument to importHref.

  • Fixes 3115. Make Polymer.dom.flush reentrant-safe.

  • Fixes 3125. Ensure dom-if in host does not restamp when host detaches.

  • Fixes 3128, 3121. Computed bindings: outer scope property forwarding errantly forwarded literals as properties. This triggered a bug on Safari,"TypeError: Attempting to change the setter of an unconfigurable property."

  • Fixes 3157. Data-bound text nodes in a dom-if show up when they should be hidden.

  • Fixes 3214. Fix for Polymer.dom(...)._query() method doesn't exist which causes Polymer.updateStyles() to fail.

  • Fixes 3270. Cannot bind to isAttached.

  • Fixes 3285. SVGs inside an element's local DOM are styled improperly on IE.

  • Fixes 3295. getOwnerRoot incorrect when queried after an element is added from within a document fragment.

  • Fixes 3308. Polymer.dom element accessors can be incorrect when an element has no logical nodes.

  • Fixes 3321. Only let dom-repeat insert elements in attached if it has been previously detached; correctly avoid re-adding children in document fragments to an element's logical linked list if they are already there.

  • Fixes 3324. Ensure dom-if moved into doc fragment is torn down.

  • Fixes 3337. Fixes an issue that was detected when an a doc fragment that did not include an insertion point was added after one that did but before distribution.

This release fixes the following issues:

  • Fixes #2381, #2708: Fix ordering issues with custom-style elements that apply custom properties defined in other custom-style elements.

This release includes a number of small optimizations affecting startup time.

This release includes the following new features:

  • Fixes #2511. Add support for strip-whitespace attribute on templates. A template defined with the strip-whitespace attribute removes any empty text nodes from the template contents, which can result in a minor performance improvement.
  • Fixes #2537. Add optional incremental "chunked" rendering to dom-repeat.

    New properties:

    • initialCount. Enables incremental rendering and sets initial render count
    • targetFramerate. Determines the target frame budget for rendering the remaining items.

    If initialCount is set, after setting (or re-setting) items, the initial count will be rendered pre-paint, and all remaining items will be incrementally rendered at requestAnimationFrame timing. The template makes a best-effort attempt to hit the framerate specified by targetFramerate.

  • Fixes #2690. Add new getComputedStyleValue method to determine the computedn style of a custom property. Usage:

    propertyValue = element.getComputedStyleValue(propertyName);

    This is equivalent to the native:

    propertyValue = getComputedStyle(element).getPropertyValue(property);

This release includes the following bug fixes and improvements:

  • Fix compound bindings with braces in literals.

  • Fixes #2639. Fix for BEM-like CSS selectors under media queries. This issue affected CSS selectors that included two dashes inline, such as foo--bar.

  • Fixes #2641. Fix gestures when using shadow DOM polyfill.

  • Fixes #2649. queryAllEffectiveChildren method throws an exception.

  • Fixes #2650. Add support for short unicode escape sequences in CSS rules.

  • Fixes #2660. Fix parsing of custom properties with 'var' in value.

  • Fixes #2670. Fix for multiple consequent spaces present in CSS selectors.

  • Fixes #2685: dom-if throws exception if detached before instance is stamped.

This release includes the following new features:

  • Add deepContains method to DOM API.

This release includes fixes for the following issues:

  • Make parsing of mixin declarations more robust.

  • Fixes #2556. notifyPath: Ensure outer paths aren't forwarded to instance props.

  • Fixes #2610. isLightDescendant should return false for self.

This release includes the following new features:

  • Compound binding support. In place of a single binding annotation, you can now use a compound binding consisting of string literals and binding annotations:

    <span>Name: {{lastname}}, {{firstname}}</span>
    

    See Compound bindings for details.

  • New observeNodes method for tracking addition and removal of child nodes and distributed nodes. See Observe added and removed children.

  • New effective children APIs that provide a composition-aware view of light DOM children. See Effective children.

  • Improvements to path API. Fixes #2007, #2509.

    • Allows set to take paths with array keys, identified by #key.
    • Allows notifyPath to take paths with array indices.
    • Exposes public notifySplices API.
  • Fixes #2582. Fix IE10 regressions in dom-repeat, dom-bind, and dom-module-inline

  • Fix deepEqual on Safari 9 due to Safari enumeration bug.

  • Add Polymer.dom(node).notifyObservers method to 'kick' observers, for example, when attributes change under Shadow DOM.

This release includes the following new features:

  • Added isLightDescendent and isLocalDescendent utility methods to Polymer elements.

  • The fire method's detail argument can take any primitive value, not just objects.

This release fixes the following issues:

  • Fixes #2504. Templatizer: Variables in the parent scope are not passed during initialization.

  • Fixes #2505. Templatizer: Changes to array/object properties from the parent scope not notified.

This release fixes the following issues:

Web Components polyfill updated to 0.7.13. The latest version of webcomponents-lite.js fixes an issue that affected SEO of Polymer 1.x apps.

  • Fixes #2403. Fixes a regression that affected legacy projects using Chrome 39.
  • Fixes #2356. Log a warning if the included style module cannot be found.

  • Fixes #2357. Styles included with include= are inserted before any styles defined in the body of the style element.

  • Fixes #2363. Explicitly create Polymer object on window to satisfy strict mode.

  • Fixes #2329. Registration changes to support ES6 classes.

  • Fixes #2341. Branch Polymer.dom to use native dom methods under Shadow DOM for appendChild, insertBefore, removeChild, replaceChild, and cloneNode.

  • Fixes #2334. When composing nodes in shady DOM, check if a node is where we expect it to be before removing it from its distributed position. We do this because the node may have been moved by Polymer.dom in a way that triggered distribution of its previous location. The node is already where it needs to be so removing it from its parent when it's no longer distributed is destructive.

Release 1.1.1 (2015-08-20)

This release fixes a serious regression in Release 1.1 related to shady DOM distribution. Related issues:

  • Fixes #2276: DOM API fails to select an element in a dom-repeat in Polymer 1.1. (commit)

  • Fixes #2311, #2323: When elements are removed from their previous position when they are added elsewhere, make sure to remove them from composed, not logical parent. (commit)

  • Fixes #2253: Refine logical tree check and populate parents of insertion points with logical info only if necessary. Fixes #2283: when a node is removed, we need to potentially distribute not only its host but also its parent. (commit)

Other fixed issues:

  • Fixes #2263: Ensure custom-style can parse variable definitions in supported selectors (e.g. /deep/) without exception due to unknown css. (commit)

  • array-selector: Add selectedItem property. (commit)

  • dom-repeat: Fixes #2297, Where a dom-repeat with a sort property threw an exception when removing 10 or more items at a time. (commit)

  • Fixes #2267: Properly find dom-module for mixed case elements. (commit)

  • Fixes #2304: Avoid trying to read style data from imports that did not load. (commit)

  • Support for negative numbers in computed bindings. (commit)

Shared style change

This release includes support for a new style sharing mechanism. The new mechanism should be used in place of <link rel="import" type="css">.

See Shared styles and external stylesheets in the Developer guide for details.

As a result of these changes, several recommendations are changing:

  • <link rel="import" type="css"> is deprecated and will eventually be removed. This syntax allowed users to use a pure .css file, but the file is parsed as HTML which is a security and performance concern.

  • We now recommend placing an element's <style> tag inside the element's local DOM template, not outside. The older style is still supported, but does not perform as well as placing the styles inside the template.

Fixed issues:

  • Fixes #2251: Resolve imported stylesheets against correct document. (commit)

  • Reduce keySplices to minimum change set before notifying. Fixes #2261. (commit)

  • array-selector: Make clearSelection method public. (commit)

  • Add logical info if an element being added is an insertion point; do not add logical info for any element in a shady root. (commit)

  • Fixes #2235. Manages logical information in shady distribution more directly by capturing it explicitly when needed and not whenever distribution is run. (commit)

  • Ensure path fixup is applied correctly to styles in templates. (commit)

  • dom-module no longer needs to eagerly upgrade custom elements since the web components polyfills do this automatically. (commit)

##v1.0.9 (2015-08-07)

  • array-selector. Numerous fixes around selection. Default selected to empty array. Add isSelected API. Add default values and update docs. (commit, commit, commit, commit)

  • Fixes #2218: Match style properties against scope transformed selector (not property unique selector). (commit)

  • Gestures: Make sure mouse position is not a factor for .click() in IE 10. (commit)

  • Gestures: Always trigger tap for synthetic click events. (commit)

  • Fixes #2193: Implements workaround for chromium bug #516550 by adding Polymer.RenderStatus.whenReady and using it to defer attached. (commit)

  • Fixes vulcanize#209. Fixes issue where polyfilled templates may not upgrade correctly. (commit)

  • Use _clientsReadied to avoid missing attribute->property sets in ready. (commit)

  • Make propagation of attribute changes at configure time more efficient. (commit)

  • Fixes #1673: Ensure instance effects exist before marshaling attributes. (commit)

  • Fixes #2154: Ensure Polymer.dom always sees wrapped nodes when Shadow DOM polyfill is in use. (commit)

  • Use CSS parser's property stripping code in custom-style. (commit)

  • Gestures: Automatically filter mouse events without the left mouse button. (commit)

  • dom-if: Cache style.display & textContent and re-apply on true. Fixes #2037. (commit)

  • Fixes #2118: force element is to be lowercase: mixing case causes confusion and breaks style shimming for type extensions. (commit)

  • Allow array mutation APIs to accept string & negative args. Fixes #2062. Brings the API more in line with native Array methods. (commit)

  • Fix #2107: improve binding expression parser to match valid JavaScript property names. (commit)

##Release 1.0.8 (2015-07-23)

  • Gestures: Disable track gestures when scrolling. (commit)

  • Fixes #2125: Add a register method to dom-module to support imperative creation. (commit)

  • Gestures: Move recognizer reset into start of event flow. (commit)

  • Remove alternate calculation for _rootDataHost (commit)

  • dom-bind: Don't call dom-change when detached. (commit)

  • Handle comment nodes correctly for textContent and innerHTML. (commit)

  • Data binding: Fixes #2098: Ignore undefined values as initial config (commit)

  • Data binding: Allow setting non-index array properties. Fixes #2096. (commit).

  • dom-bind: Added render method to dom-bind which can be called when async imports are used; documented template render functions (commit).

  • Fixes #2039: Polymer.dom.flush now triggers Custom Elements polyfill mutations and includes an api (Polymer.dom.addDebouncer(debouncer)) for adding debouncers which should run at flush time. Template rendering debouncers are placed in the flush list. (commit)

  • dom-repeat: Remove unnecessary keys bookkeeping. (commit)

  • dom-repeat: Always use placeholders; fix insertion reference bug. (commit, commit)

  • Add Polymer.instanceof & isInstance. Fixes #2083. (commit)

  • Make Polymer.dom(element).getDistributedNodes and Polymer.dom(element).getDestinationInsertionPoints() always return at least an empty array (was generating exception under Shadow DOM); make element.getContentChildNodes and element.getContentChildren always return at least an empty array when a selector is passed that does not find a <content> (was generating exception under Shadow DOM). (commit). Fixes #2081.

  • Fixes #2077: Workaround IE text node splitting issue that can make text bindings fail. (commit)

  • Fixes #2078: When computing custom style properties, make sure the styling scope is valid when the element is attached to a shadowRoot whose host is not a Polymer element. (commit)

The Migration guide has been updated to reflect that the iron-flex-layout custom properties are the recommended replacement for layout attributes in Release 1.0. The layout classes previously described in the Migration guide for Releases 0.8 and 0.9 will continue to work for now, but are deprecated.

A number of APIs changed between 0.8-rc.2 and 0.9. This section summarizes the changes.

Mixins have been replaced by behaviors, which can define properties, add lifecycle callbacks, observers, and event listeners.

Specify behaviors using the behaviors array on the prototype:

Polymer({
  is: "enhanced-element",
  behaviors: [CoolBehavior]
});

For details, see Behaviors.

When creating a custom constructor, the configuration function is renamed from constructor to factoryImpl, to aid compilation tools.

Static attributes defined in hostAttributes can now be overridden from markup.

As a part of this change, the class attribute can no longer be set from hostAttributes. If you need to set classes on the host, you can do so imperatively (for example, by calling classList.add from the ready callback).

The format for property observers has changed to be more like the format for computed properties:

Before:

observers: {
  'preload src size': 'updateImage'
},

updateImage: function(preload, src, size) {
  // ... do work using dependent values
}

After:

observers: [
  'updateImage(preload, src, size)'
],

updateImage: function(preload, src, size) {
  // ... do work using dependent values
}

Also, property observers are not invoked until all dependent properties are defined. If the observer is not being invoked, make sure all dependent properties have non-undefined default values set.

This release includes several enhancements and changes to custom property support:

  • Custom property support is enabled for all elements. The enableCustomStyleProperties flag is no longer required.

  • breaking change: Style mixins are applied with @apply instead of mixin.

    @apply --my-style-mixin
    
  • The var function allows you to supply a default value, which is used if the custom property is not defined:

    background-color: var(--my-background, red);
    
  • Custom properties and mixins can be used inside a mixin.

    --foo: {
      color: var(--my-color);
      @apply --my-theme;
    };
    

The custom-style element replaces the experimental x-style element.

Custom properties and CSS mixins can now be applied inside a custom-style element.

For more details, see Custom element for document styling.

Styling now supports the :root pseudo-class inside custom-style. In the context of a custom-style element, the :root selector lets you define a custom property that applies to all custom elements. (In 0.8, applying a property to all custom elements required a more expensive * selector.)

The template helper elements are no longer experimental, and have been renamed:

  • x-repeat is now dom-repeat.
  • x-bind is now dom-bind.
  • x-array-selector is now array-selector.
  • x-if is now dom-if.

As of 0.9, nested templates can access their parent's scope. See Nesting dom-repeat templates for details.

In 0.8, an array observer was used to monitor the mutation of arrays, so adding an item to an array was observed automatically, but changing a value in an array item required the setPathValue method (now renamed to set).

0.9 replaces the array observers with a set of array mutation methods. For array changes to be observed by data bindings, computed properties, or observers, you must use the provided helper methods: push, pop, splice, shift, and unshift. Like set, the first argument is a string path to the array.

this.push('users', { first: "Stephen", last: "Maturin" });

This release adds limited gesture support. For details, see Gesture events.

CSP issues in the initial release of 0.8 have been resolved. CSP still requires separate script and HTML files.

The CSP-specific functions of vulcanize have been split into a separate utility, crisper. To prepare a site for deployment in a CSP environment, you can use a command like this:

vulcanize --inline-scripts --inline-css target.html | \
    crisper --html build.html --js build.js

For more details on the vulcanize arguments, see the README.

Note: The latest versions of vulcanize are not compatible with Polymer 0.5. For 0.5 projects, use vulcanize versions earlier than 1.0. vulcanize 0.7.10 is the latest version supporting 0.5 projects.

The method signatures for the transform and translate3d utility methods have changed to match the other utility methods. The node argument is now the last argument, and is optional. If node is omitted, the methods act on this.

Before:

transform(node, transform);
translate3d(node, x, y, z);

After:

transform(transform, node);
translate3d(x, y, z, node);

The fire method now takes three arguments:

fire(type, [detail], [options]);

The options object can contain the following properties:

  • node. Node to fire the event on. Defaults to this.
  • bubbles. Whether the event should bubble. Defaults to true.
  • cancelable. Whether the event can be canceled with preventDefault. Defaults to false.

The following utility functions were added since 0.8-rc.2 or were missing from the earlier documentation:

  • $$
  • cancelAsync
  • debounce
  • cancelDebouncer
  • flushDebouncer
  • isDebouncerActive

For details, see Instance methods.

Release 0.9 includes a number of bug fixes. A few notable fixes are listed below.

  • The id attribute can now be data bound. (Note that if id is data bound, the element is omitted from this.$.)
