I'm setting up a contact list in Polymer 1.0. When the user clicks on a name, there should be a (animated) page opened for further details. All of these data elements are pulled from an external .json file.
Two questions for this approach..:
1) where to begin? How do I wrap, for example, an iron-page or neon-animated-page around my current setup (which is searchable, which is also the -temporary- reason it's a dom-repeat instead of an iron-list):
<template id="resultlist" is="dom-repeat" items="{{data}}" filter="contactFilter">
<paper-item>
<paper-item-body two-line>
<div>{{item.name}}</div>
<div secondary>{{item.number}}</div>
</paper-item-body>
</paper-item>
</template>
2) For quick try-out with binding options I've created an paper-dialog (instead of an page behaviour) which displays further data for the chosen person... On top of that paper-dialog should the chosen name being displayed. But I only get the first name of the array in my .json file. How can I setup the code to display the {{item.name}} of the chosen item?
Ps. I'm aware of the contacts-app from Rob Dodson (https://github.com/robdodson/contacts-app), but I can't figure out how it should be done in Polymer 1.0.
Update 27.10.2015
After Hugo's answer I'm not able to get the solution to work in an dom-module structure.
Sorry for misunderstanding, but I can't figure out where I'm wrong.
Having to following:
phonebook.html, which acts like an index
...
<body unresolved>
<template is="dom-bind" id="application">
<neon-animated-pages selected="[[selected]]" entry-animation="fade-in-animation" exit-animation="fade-out-animation">
<contact-list></contact-list>
<contact-details></contact-details>
</neon-animated-pages>
</template>
<script>
var application = document.querySelector('#application');
application.selected = 0;
document.addEventListener('show-details', function() {
application.selected = 1;
});
document.addEventListener('show-list', function() {
application.selected = 0;
});
</script>
</body>
DOM-module contact-list.html, the list it self.
<dom-module id="contact-list">
<template>
<style include="phonebook-styles"></style>
<iron-ajax url="../data/data.json" handle-as="json" last-response="{{data}}" auto></iron-ajax>
<div class="container">
<h3>Contactlist:</h3>
<div class="template-container">
<template is="dom-repeat" id="templateUsers" items="{{data}}">
<paper-item on-tap="showDetails">
<paper-item-body two-line>
<div>{{item.name}}</div>
<div secondary>{{item.phonenumber}}</div>
</paper-item-body>
<div class="item-details-link">
<iron-icon icon="account-circle"></iron-icon>
</div>
</paper-item>
</template>
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
Polymer({
is: 'contact-list',
properties: {
selectedContact:{
type:Object,
value:function(){
return null;
}
}
},
showDetails: function(ev) {
var data = this.$.templateUsers.itemForElement(ev.target);
//alert(JSON.stringify(data)) // works with data chosen data selection...
this.selectedContact = data;
this.fire('show-details', this.selectedContact);
}
});
</script>
</dom-module>
DOM-module contact-details.html, the details-list.
<dom-module id="contact-details">
<template>
<!-- Do I need to declare the .json in my details module? -->
<iron-ajax url="../data/data.json" handle-as="json" last-response="{{data}}" auto></iron-ajax>
<paper-icon-button icon="arrow-back" on-tap="showList"></paper-icon-button>
<h3>Contact details</h3>
<template is="dom-repeat" items="{{data}}">
<div>{{selectedContact.name}}</div>
</template>
</template>
<script>
Polymer({
is: 'contact-details',
showList: function() {
this.fire('show-list');
}
});
</script>
</dom-module>
Everything, like the transitions, work. The chosen contact is also displayed in an alertbox (commented out in contact-list.html), but isn't forwarded to the contact-details.html page.
