<global-variable> v0.1.4

Polymer element that allows share data between non-relatives elements.

Can be used as a Polymer v1 element or a Polymer hybrid mode element.

Demo

  <global-data on-set="_onSet"
               on-subscribe="_onSubscribe"
               on-unsubscribe="_onUnsubscribe">
  </global-data>
              

  <global-variable key="input" 
                   value="{{ inputElement1 }}">
  </global-variable>
  <paper-input label="Element 1"
               value="{{ inputElement1 }}">
  </paper-input>
  <global-variable key="input" 
                   value="{{ inputElement2 }}">
  </global-variable>
  <paper-input label="Element 2"
               value="{{ inputElement2 }}">
  </paper-input>
  <global-variable key="input" 
                   value="{{ inputElement3 }}" 
                   readonly>
  </global-variable>
  <paper-input label="Element 3"
               value="{{ inputElement3 }}">
  </paper-input>

Installation

To add this element to your project:

bower i trofrigo/global-variable --save

Usage

You can instance this element as many times as you desire. Every time that an instance's value is modified, it will be propagated to the rest of the instances of this element with the same key.

  <global-variable key="input" 
                   value="{{ inputElement1 }}">
  </global-variable>
  <paper-input label="Element 1"
               value="{{ inputElement1 }}">
  </paper-input>

  <global-variable key="input" 
                   value="{{ inputElement2 }}">
  </global-variable>
  <paper-input label="Element 2"
               value="{{ inputElement2 }}">
  </paper-input>

Both input will show the same value.

In addition, you can use the readonly property. This property allows to receive any change in the path and prevents any value propagation form this instance to the others.

There is a second element, <global-data></global-data>, that works as an API for the storage with two methods, set(path, value) and get(path). This element will, as well, fire events every time that a path's value changes, an element subscribe to a path or an element unsubscribe from a path.

    <global-data id="globalData"
                 on-set="_onSet"
                 on-subscribe="_onSubscribe"
                 on-unsubscribe="_onUnsubscribe">
    </global-data>
    
    <global-variable key="input" 
                     value="{{ inputElement1 }}">
    </global-variable>
    <paper-input label="Element 1"
                 value="{{ inputElement1 }}">
    </paper-input>
    
    <script>
          var data = document.querySelector('#globalData');
          console.log(data.get('input')); //Will show paper-input's value
    </script>
