Autosize the paper-dropdown-menu width - polymer

I have the following
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<script src='../bower_components/webcomponentsjs/webcomponents-lite.js'></script>
<link rel="import" href="../bower_components/paper-dropdown-menu/paper-dropdown-menu.html">
<link rel="import" href="../bower_components/paper-item/paper-item.html">
<link rel="import" href="../bower_components/paper-listbox/paper-listbox.html">
</head>
<body unresolved>
<dom-module id='base-page'>
<template>
<paper-dropdown-menu>
<paper-listbox class='dropdown-content' selected='0'>
<paper-item>This is a very long text that I have in my paper drop down</paper-item>
</paper-listbox>
</paper-dropdown-menu>
</template>
</dom-module>
<script>
HTMLImports.whenReady(function() {Polymer({
is: 'base-page',
properties: {
}
});});
</script>
<base-page></base-page>
</body>
The selected text is "This is a very long text that I have in my paper drop Down", but it gets cut off. Is there a way that I can get the paper-dropdown-menu to autosize the Width?
Placed something here to play with: http://jsbin.com/dejukufaqe/edit?html,output

To accomplish this, you'd have to calculate the pixel width of each string in the paper-list in a given font, get the maximum of the widths, and set the paper-dropdown-menu's width to that value.
See the demo below. The width is limited to the container's width so that it doesn't expand off the page.

How to set iron-icon size inside paper-badge?

I have a paper-badge with an icon attribute set. I am able to change the size of the badge, but I also want to change the size of the icon inside it.
How can I do that? Thanks
The <paper-badge> currently doesn't support CSS properties to modify the icon's size (it's hard-coded to 12x12). However, you could change icon's size in JavaScript by selecting the badge's <iron-icon> and setting its style.width and style.height:
// template
<paper-badge id="badge"></paper-badge>
// script
const icon = this.$.badge.$$('iron-icon');
icon.style.width = '20px';
icon.style.height = '20px';
HTMLImports.whenReady(() => {
Polymer({
is: 'x-foo',
attached: function() {
const icon = this.$.badge.$$('iron-icon');
icon.style.width = '20px';
icon.style.height = '20px';
}
});
});

Polymer 1.x: Imperatively accessing DOM nodes inside a dom-if template

Here is my jsBin.
I want to access by its id a DOM node inside a dom-if template. With my existing code, I expect to see true when attempting to cast these nodes to Booleans, but instead I get false (i.e., undefined).
Steps to recreate the problem:
Open this jsBin.
Understand that the HTML pane on the right is working correctly by showing Foo and Bar and not showing Baz.
Observe the console and understand the id="foo" node is accessible but the id="bar" and id="baz" elements are not. And this is my problem.
How can I access those nodes imperatively?

The $ selector won't work. You have to use $$ as follows:
console.log('baz', !!this.$$('#baz'));

Polymer 1.x: Two-way databinding for paper-dropdown-menu

I want to set the paper-dropdown-menu to the value of 'Three' upon loading. I want to do this by data binding the value attribute of the paper-dropdown-menu to a sub property of the element called item.number which is set when registering the element. When I attempt this using the below code, the result I see is that the paper-dropdown-menu displayed value is just blank instead of reading 'Three'.
What code changes will achieve my desired behavior?
Follow these steps to reproduce the problem.
Open this JSBin.
Note the content of the display value of the dropdown menu is blank.
Click the button labeled Click to show item
Observe the console prints:
[object Object] {
number: "Three"
}
Understand the above steps demonstrate my desired behavior is not occurring.
Select the number "Four" in the dropdown menu.
Click the button labeled Click to show item
Observe the console prints:
[object Object] {
number: "Four"
}
Understand the above step shows one-way data binding is working on the element.
How can I achieve my desired behavior?

Your code doesn't work because value property of <paper-dropdown-menu> is read-only. See the documentation.
Instead you can bind to <paper-listbox selected>. With minimal changes you will have to bind to dropdown's element index.
Polymer({
is: "x-element",
properties: {
item: {
type: Object,
notify: true,
value: function() {
return {number: 2};
},
},
},
show: function() {
console.log('item', this.item);
},

To keep the full name in your item you can add an attribute to you selectable elements and use the attrForSelected property of paper-listbox.
Polymer({
is: "x-element",
properties: {
item: {
type: Object,
notify: true,
value: function() {
return {number: "Three"};
},
},
},
show: function() {
console.log('item', this.item);

Polymer 1.0 Child element not firing to parent

I'm having trouble trying to fire an event from a child element to its parent on Polymer 1.0, and I can't see what am I doing wrong.
EDITED: Add more code
Child's code:
<link rel="import" href="../components/polymer/polymer.html" />
<link rel="import" href="../components/iron-input/iron-input.html" />
<link rel="import" href="../components/iron-icon/iron-icon.html" />
<link rel="import" href="../components/paper-input/paper-input container.html" />
<link rel="import" href="../components/paper-input/paper-input-error.html" />
<link rel="import" href="../components/iron-input/iron-input.html" />
<link rel="import" href="custom-table.html" />
<dom-module id="master-admin">
<style is="custom-style">
[...]
</style>
<template>
<custom-table selectable collist="{{columns}}" data="{{data}}">
</custom-table>
<div id="newrow" class="horizontal layout" hidden>
<template is="dom-repeat" items="{{columns}}" as="col">
<paper-input-container class="container flex">
<label class="label">{{col.name}}</label>
<input class="input" id="input" is="iron-input">
</paper-input-container>
</template>
</div>
<div id="iconsdiv" class="horizontal layout">
<iron-icon id="adicon" icon="add-circle" on-click="addrow"></iron-icon>
<div class="flex"></div>
<iron-icon id="delicon" icon="cancel" on-click="delrow"></iron-icon>
<iron-icon id="edicon" icon="create" on-click="editrow"></iron-icon>
</div>
</template>
<script>
Polymer({
is: 'master-admin',
properties: {
doctype: String,
columns: Array,
data: Array
},
datachanged: function () {
debugger;
var updatedata = {
data: this.data,
doctype: this.doctype
};
this.fire('data-updated', updatedata);
},
addrow: function (e) {
[...]
this.datachanged();
},
delrow: function (e) {
[...]
this.datachanged();
},
editrow: function (e) {
[...]
this.datachanged();
}
});
</script>
</dom-module>
On parent:
<master-admin
doctype="{{master.DocumentalTypeId}}"
columns="{{master.Columns}}"
data="{{master.Data}}"
on-data-updated="masterupdated">
</master-admin>
masterupdated: function () {
alert('updated master!');
}
Just to be clear, datachanged works just fine and it's called when it should. masterupdated on the parent does not.
The alert is never firing, nor the code gives any error. I guess is just something with Polymer 1.0 that works different.
The basic setup you describe does work, there must be a problem in the details somewhere. Here is an example:
<!doctype html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<base href="http://milestech.net/components/">
<script src="webcomponentsjs/webcomponents-lite.min.js"></script>
<link href="polymer/polymer.html" rel="import">
<style>
body {
font-family: sans-serif;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<x-parent></x-parent>
<hr>
<dom-module id="master-admin">
<template>
<button on-tap="updateData">Update Data</button>
</template>
<script>
// only need this when both (1) in the main document and (2) on non-Chrome browsers
addEventListener('WebComponentsReady', function() {
Polymer({
is: 'master-admin',
updateData: function() {
this.fire('data-updated');
}
});
});
</script>
</dom-module>
<dom-module id="x-parent">
<style>
</style>
<template>
<master-admin on-data-updated="masterupdated"></master-admin>
</template>
<script>
// only need this when both (1) in the main document and (2) on non-Chrome browsers
addEventListener('WebComponentsReady', function() {
Polymer({
is: 'x-parent',
masterupdated: function() {
document.body.appendChild(this.create('h3', {textContent: 'data-updated!'}));
}
});
});
</script>
</dom-module>
</body>
Can you try this?
<template is="dom-bind" id="t">
<master-admin
doctype="{{master.DocumentalTypeId}}"
columns="{{master.Columns}}"
data="{{master.Data}}"
on-data-updated="masterupdated">
</master-admin>
</template>
<script>
var template = document.querySelector('#t');
template.masterupdated= function () {
consloe.log("MASTER UPDATED!!");
};
</script>

Setting the height of core-pages elements?

I'm having a lot of trouble getting a core-pages element to have a non-zero height within my custom element. What is the best practice for having the core-pages height be the same as its selected content. Here's a trivial example which clearly breaks:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset=utf-8 />
<title>Polymer</title>
</head>
<body>
<script src="http://www.polymer-project.org/platform.js"></script>
<link rel="import" href="http://www.polymer-project.org/components/polymer/polymer.html">
<link rel="import" href="http://www.polymer-project.org/components/core-pages/core-pages.html">
<polymer-element name="x-foo">
<template>
<core-pages id="pages" selected="{{selected}}">
<content></content>
</core-pages>
</template>
<script>
Polymer('x-foo', {
ready: function() {
this.selected = 0;
}
});
</script>
</polymer-element>
<polymer-element name="x-bar">
<template>
<div><content></content></div>
</template>
<script>
Polymer('x-bar', {});
</script>
</polymer-element>
<p>BEFORE</p>
<x-foo>
<x-bar>some text here</x-bar>
<x-bar>some other text here</x-bar>
</x-foo>
<p>AFTER</p>
</body>
</html>
And the jsbin to see the results: http://jsbin.com/xowoxakuwu/1/edit (notice how the core pages content overlaps with the next element)
This example shows a core-pages element within a custom element. The content that gets injected into the core-pages are also custom elements.
Whats the best practice here?
You can apply a style to the currently selected page in the x-foo element which sets display: block and position: relative so x-bar will inherit the height of it's content.
I've also added the "block" attribute to the x-foo element so it too inherits the height of the selected page. Other general attributes are here -> https://www.polymer-project.org/docs/polymer/layout-attrs.html#general-purpose-attributes
