What's the Polymer 1.0 equivalent to injectBoundHTML()?
(i.e. appending HTML strings to nodes within a Polymer element and having data bindings resolve)
A JSbin example - http://jsbin.com/jufase/edit?html,output
EDIT: don't have enough SO cred to accept my own answer yet, but it should be down below somewhere. TL;DR - use "dom-bind" templates
Although as techknowledgey pointed out it's not really supported well yet. The following seems to do the trick.
function injectBoundHTML(html, element) {
var template = document.createElement('template', 'dom-bind');
var doc = template.content.ownerDocument;
var div = doc.createElement('div');
div.innerHTML = html;
template.content.appendChild(div);
while (element.firstChild) {
element.removeChild(element.firstChild);
}
element.appendChild(Polymer.Base.instanceTemplate(template));
}
If your HTML was already parsed then use something like "doc.importNode(sourceNode, true);" instead of getting/setting innerHTML.
Looks like this is not really a supported feature yet, looking at the comments from @kevinpschaaf:
https://github.com/Polymer/polymer/issues/1778
Using dom-bind, I should be able to satisfy my use case, e.g. http://jsbin.com/caxelo/edit?html,output
Bindings are to properties by default, and hyphens can be used to denote capitalizations:
<element inner-h-t-m-l="{{prop}}"></element>
Thanks guys for the prototype that I updated for my own needs : Generate markup in polymer, as dom-repeat was unable to perform this operation.
