bind attribute replacement

[winhowes]

Hi, I'm aware the bind attribute has been disabled on <template>s but after pouring through the docs on polymer-project.org, stackoverflow.com and the polymer source code I'm not sure how to port the same functionality to Polymer 1.0. As I understand it the bind attribute allows you to scope to properties inside of a template.

So with this code snippet I would expect name to become "test" (if bind was ported from Polymer 0.5), but I'm not sure how to apply this scoping in Polymer 1.0. I know I could just do {{data.name}} but unfortunately my use case is a bit more complex and that won't work. Could you please advise on how to achieve this? My element is supposed to be a file treeview, which either requires an indefinite number of dom-repeats or scoping like this.

<dom-module is="example-elem">
  <template>
      <template bind="{{data}}">
        <div>{{name}}</div>
      </template>
  </template>
</dom-module>

<script>
Polymer({

    is: 'example-elem',

    properties: {
      data: {
        type: Object,
        value: {
           name: "test"
        }
      }
    }
}
</script>

Do you want followings code 👎

<dom-module id="example-elem">
    <template>
        <span>[[ data.name ]]</span>
    </template>
</dom-module>

<script>
Polymer({
    is: 'example-elem',
    ready: function() {
        this.data.name = "Polymer";
    },
    properties: {
      data: {
        type: Object,
        value: {
           name: ""
        }
      }
    }
});
</script>

<template is="dom-bind">
    <example-elem data="{{ data }}"></example-elem>
</template>

I guess my broader question was if it was possible to do recursion, but I believe I have found an answer: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30468581/polymer-recursive-template-binding/30469213#30469213. I'll close this
