| 19 * Use `<polymer-element>` instead of `<element>`. | |
| 20 | |
| 21 * Declarative event binding requires custom elements. | |
| 22 | |
| 23 * Go through `shadowRoot` to find nodes inside of your custom element. | |
| 24 | |
| 25 * When manually observing an object, the ChangeRecord only has the field name. | |
| 26 Not the old and new value. You have to use mirrors to get the new value. | |

| 28 * You should include `packages/polymer/boot.js` and **not** dart.js in your | |
| 29 HTML file. | |
| 30 | |
| 31 * The boot.js file **must** go into the `<head>` and not the `<body>`. | |
| 32 | |
| 33 * Custom tag classes need a `@CustomTag('element-name')` annotation. | |
| 34 | |
| 35 * The constructor attribute on `<polymer-element>` is no longer used. | |
| 36 | |
| 37 * Null is falsey for MDV if expressions. | |
| 38 | |
| 39 * Every custom element must have a Dart class. Use an empty Dart class | |
| 40 if necessary. See [https://code.google.com/p/dart/issues/detail?id=12254] | |
| 41 If you really don't want to create an empty class, use the | |
| 42 `registerPolymerElement('my-element', () => new PolymerElement())` | |
| 43 technique. | |
| 44 | |
| 45 * The `extends` attribute on polymer-element is optional. If you use it, | |
| 46 you should use the form of `<div is="my-element">`. If you omit the | |
| 47 `extends` attribute, you are safe to use `<my-element>`. | |
| 48 | |
| 49 * Getters are no longer observable. Instead, use `bindProperty` in the | |
| 50 `created` callback | |
| 51 to let the system know that a getter should be read. | |
| 52 | |
| 53 * You **must** call `super` in your `created`/`inserted` lifecycle callbacks. | |
| 54 | |
| 55 * Polymer.dart does **not** support polymer.js's `noscript` attribute on | |
| 56 `polymer-element`. All custom elements must have a Dart class (see above). | |
| 57 | |
| 58 * Similar to boot.js required to be in `<head>`, your .dart script | |

| 59 needs to be in `<body>`, ideally at the end. | |
| 60 This might change, see https://code.google.com/p/dart/issues/detail?id=12388 | |
| 61 | |
| 62 * The `apply-author-styles` attribute (which used to be on the `<element>` tag) | |
| 63 is now set as a getter property on the class for the custom element. e.g.: | |

| 64 | |
| 65 class MyElement extends PolymerElement { | |
| 66 bool get applyAuthorStyles => true; | |
| 67 // ... | |
| 68 } | |
| 69 | |
| 70 * To create an app that works when compiled to JavaScript, you need to | |
| 71 build it. See deploy_to_javascript and its `build.dart` file. Notice the | |
| 72 `--deploy` argument. | |
| 73 | |
| 74 * The `iterate` attribute no longer exists, use `repeat` on the template | |
| 75 element. | |
| 76 | |
| 77 * Polymer.dart does not support lexical scoping for binding expressions. | |
| 78 A model must be bound to a template object for a binding expression to | |
| 79 see it. | |
| 80 | |
| 81 * Polymer.dart does not support the `instantiate` attribute on the template | |
| 82 tag. To instantiate a template, simply bind a model to it, and ensure the | |
| 83 template has a `bind` attribute. | |
