Browser compatibility of Polymer

3.6k views Asked by Corbac At 26 December 2024 at 06:24

I am starting to use Polymer 1.0: the only thing I tried is a simple template like this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <meta charset="UTF-8">
        <script src="bower_components/webcomponentsjs/webcomponents.min.js"></script>
        <script src="bower_components/webcomponentsjs/webcomponents-lite.min.js"></script>

        <link rel="import" href="bower_components/polymer/polymer.html"></link>
        <link rel="import" href="bower_components/iron-icons/iron-icons.html">

        <title>Polymer test1</title>
    </head>
    <body unresolved>

        <dom-module id="pres-test">

        <template>

            <content></content>

            <p>This is my name:<h3>{{name}}</h3></p>
            <iron-icon icon="star" hidden="{{!star}}"></iron-icon>
            <img src="http://placehold.it/300x100"></img>

        </template>

    </dom-module>

    <script>
        Polymer({
            is:'pres-test',
            properties:{
                name:String,
                star:Boolean
            }
        });
    </script>

    <pres-test name="withStar" star>
        <h1>Example1:</h1>
        <img src="http://placekitten.com/g/200/180" alt="image"></img>
    </pres-test>

    <pres-test name="withoutStar">
        <h2>Example:</h2>
        <img src="http://placesheen.com/100/100"></img>
        <p>No star icon :()</p>
    </pres-test>


    </body>
</html>

This code works fine on Chrome and Opera, except that even if I don't put the boolean star in pres-test, it still shows the star.

In Firefox and IE, it just shows the h1 and img in the pres-test.

In Safari it seems that it doesn't understand the tags like dom-module, template or pres-test, since it first displays what is in the dom-module, then what is in pres-test, without adapting to the variables.

I looked for the compatibility of Polymer, but I only found it for the version 0.5.

Am I doing something wrong, or is it just not compatible with these browsers?

Only Chrome supports having custom element definitions inline in your main document. Other browsers currently do not have full and proper implementations of the new and upcoming standard.

Take the pres-test element definition and move it into its own HTML file, then import it.

Also, you only need to import one of the webcomponents.js polyfills - and for Polymer 1.0, you'll want to use webcomponents-lite.js.

All said and done you'll have two files:

index.html:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <meta charset="UTF-8">
        <script src="bower_components/webcomponentsjs/webcomponents-lite.min.js"></script>

        <link rel="import" href="bower_components/polymer/polymer.html">
        <link rel="import" href="pres-test.html">

        <title>Polymer test1</title>
    </head>
    <body unresolved>

    <pres-test name="withStar" star>
        <h1>Example1:</h1>
        <img src="http://placekitten.com/g/200/180" alt="image"></img>
    </pres-test>

    <pres-test name="withoutStar">
        <h2>Example:</h2>
        <img src="http://placesheen.com/100/100"></img>
        <p>No star icon :()</p>
    </pres-test>


    </body>
</html>

pres-test.html:

<link rel="import" href="components/polymer/polymer.html">
<link rel="import" href="components/iron-icons/iron-icons.html">

<dom-module id="pres-test">

    <template>

        <content></content>

        <p>This is my name:<h3>{{name}}</h3></p>
        <iron-icon icon="star" style$="{{getStarStyle(star)}}"></iron-icon>
        <img src="http://placehold.it/300x100"></img>

    </template>

</dom-module>

<script>
    Polymer({
        is:'pres-test',
        properties:{
            name: {
                type: String
            },
            star: {
                type: Boolean,
                value: false
            }
        },
        getStarStyle: function(star) {
            return star ? '' : 'display: none';
        }
    });
</script>
