Polymer layout attribute to stretch custom element over whole viewport - html

I am currently having my first tries with Polymer.
What I have is a custom polymer element nested in a core-animated-pages element on the main page.
The sources are:
index.html
<core-header-panel>
<core-toolbar>
[...]
</core-toolbar>
<core-animated-pages transitions="slide-from-right">
[...]
<section>
<contact-page></contact-page>
</section>
</core-animated-pages>
</core-header-panel>
contact-page.html
<polymer-element name="contact-page">
<template>
[...]
<div layout horizontal start-justified>
<div class="placeholder">
</div>
<div class="contact-box" layout horizontal center-justified flex three>
<div class="form-container" layout vertical>
<h2>Contact</h2>
<paper-input class="additional-dist" floatingLabel label="Name"></paper-input>
<paper-input id="mail" floatingLabel label="Mail"></paper-input>
<div layout horizontal>
<paper-input id="msg" multiline maxRows="4" rows="4" floatingLabel label="Message" flex></paper-input>
</div>
<paper-button label="Submit" on-tap="{{submit}}" self-end></paper-button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
[...]
</template>
[...]
</polymer-element>
The HTML file currently looks like this in Chrome 37.
Now what I'd like to have is that the yellow bar (placeholder) is vertically stretched over the whole viewport, like this.
Unfortunately I can't figure out which polymer layout attributes I have to use to achieve this and in which tags I have to put them. Can anybody help me here?

Edited to incorporate feedback from sjmiles:
Give this a shot:
<body fullbleed layout vertical>
<polymer-element name="x-foo" layout vertical>
<template>
<style>
#header {
background: tomato;
}
#col {
background: yellow;
}
</style>
<div id="header" layout horizontal>
Header
</div>
<div id="main" flex layout horizontal>
<div flex id="col">Col</div>
<div flex layout vertical>
<div>Section 1</div>
<div>Section 2</div>
<div>Section 3</div>
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
Polymer({
});
</script>
</polymer-element>
<x-foo flex></x-foo>
</body>
I'm using the fullbleed attribute to set the body to 100vh and telling it to layout its children vertically using flexbox. Then setting x-foo to flex so it fills the screen. Then it's just a matter of getting the right children to flex.
Here's a jsbin to preview.

Accessing Polymer element CSS properties - paper-input

Is there a method with CSS in which to set the CSS for paper-input such that the label is hidden?
I am wanting to remove the empty space where the label would appear.
Developer tools shows the following property for the area...
<vaadin-grid-column>
<template class="header">
<div class="horizontal layout cell">
<label for="keyFilter" class="cell">Key</label>
<vaadin-grid-filter class="cell" id="keyFilter" path="key" value="[[_filterKey]]">
<paper-input style="" slot="filter" placeholder="Search" value="{{_filterKey::input}}" focus-target></paper-input>
</vaadin-grid-filter>
</div>
</template>
<template class="cell">[[item.key]]</template>
</vaadin-grid-column>
You don't need css to do that. Just add no-label-float inside paper-input element.
For example:
<paper-input no-label-float placeholder="Search"></paper-input>

Polymer Layout - Scrolling Content

I am building a full-screen app with Polymer. Currently, I've defined my layout like this:
<body unresolved class="fullbleed">
<template is="dom-bind" id="app">
<paper-scroll-header-panel fixed>
<paper-toolbar>
<div class="spacer title" style="margin-left:0px;">My App</div>
<paper-icon-button icon="search"></paper-icon-button>
<paper-icon-button icon="more-vert"></paper-icon-button>
</paper-toolbar>
<paper-drawer-panel id="paperDrawerPanel">
<div drawer>
<my-nav flex></my-nav>
</div>
<div main class="content">
<my-view></my-view>
</div>
</paper-drawer-panel>
</paper-scroll-header-panel>
</template>
</body>
The view in <div main class="content"> looks like this:
my-view.html
<dom-module id="project-view">
<template>
<neon-animated-pages class="flex" selected="[[selectedPageIndex]]" entry-animation="fade-in-animation" exit-animation="fade-out-animation">
<!-- Page 1 -->
<div>
<paper-header-panel mode="seamed">
<div class="paper-header">
<paper-toolbar class="view-toolbar">
<paper-icon-button icon="menu"></paper-icon-button>
<span class="flex"></span>
<paper-icon-button icon="menu"></paper-icon-button>
</paper-toolbar>
</div>
<div class="content">
<paper-material elevation="2">
<h1>Welcome</h1>
<p>
This will be a BIG text block that require scrolling. The toolbar should always be visible. The "paper" should scroll under the toolbar like a Google Doc
</p>
</paper-material>
</div>
</paper-header-panel>
</div>
<!-- Page 2 -->
<div>
<paper-material elevation="2">
<p>Another page</p>
</paper-material>
</div>
</neon-animated-pages>
<script>
Polymer({
is: "my-view",
ready: function() {
this.selectedPageIndex = 0;
}
});
</script>
</template>
</dom-module>
When I run this page, the content under the toolbar will not scroll. It stays fixed in position. I do not understand why. How do I create some paper under a toolbar so that it scrolls beneath the toolbar like Google Docs?
Update:
Main layout changed to:
<paper-header-panel class="flex" style="background-color:lightcoral;">
<paper-toolbar>
<div class="spacer title" style="margin-left:0px;">My App</div>
<paper-icon-button icon="search"></paper-icon-button>
<paper-icon-button icon="more-vert"></paper-icon-button>
</paper-toolbar>
<div class="flex content" style="background-color:lightsalmon;">
<div class="horizontal layout">
<div drawer>
<my-nav flex></my-nav>
</div>
<div main class="content">
<my-view></my-view>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</paper-header-panel>
The content scrolls. However, the content of the paper-drawer-panel does not fill the remaining area below the toolbar. I do not understand why. It's like the iron-flex-layout stuff isn't working. What am I doing wrong?
My guess is that it has something to do with the paper-drawer-panel being inside of the paper-scroll-header-panel element. On top of that likely being the culprit, you should consider that if you do have the paper-drawer-panel inside of the paper-scroll-header-panel, it will scroll with your content.
I would try either removing or moving the paper-drawer-panel to start with, and then adding it back in once you have the scrolling working.
I'm not sure if this is already implemented, but this blog post might help you as it explicitly mentions the paper-toolbar together with flex layout :
https://blog.polymer-project.org/announcements/2015/12/01/deprecating-deep/
So you could try using mixins instead of the flex-class.
Try to use paper-dialog-scrollable. All you have to do is set width and height of the scroll area. Works with static and dynamic content.

Polymer element height when it contains content tag

I have an issue, when i try to load content into my element, it is always has height = 0, i need element to be sized by content size, is there any suggestions?
There is my template
<template>
<paper-dialog id="dialog" modal>
<h2>{{_computeTitle()}}</h2>
<paper-dialog-scrollable id="main">
<content id="form" select=".content"></content>
</paper-dialog-scrollable>
<div class="buttons">
<content select=".buttons"></content>
</div>
</paper-dialog>
</template>
why are you using a scrollable dialog inside of a dialog? You should use a dialog and give the children the position: relative property.

Masonry in Polymer 1.0

So I have a custom element called my-element and within that element I have a repeating template that displays a bunch of custom elements called my-card. So I was using inline-block to divide the cards in two columns and that worked but since the cards were of different heights there was some ugly white space in between. As per a suggestion from user here on stackoverflow I used column-count to make it work. Visually, it worked but the my-cards on the right column are not interactive.
If I hover under the first column, I can click the my-cards that are supposed to be in the second column.
Despite it not showing in the image above, the my-cards will be of different heights so I need to have a masonry layout. One column in mobile screen width and two columns in tablet+. How can I achieve that?
Here's the code: http://pastebin.com/NFv6ed2T
I don't see any repeats or anything, but why not change your code to use horizonal and vertical layouts? Remove all excess styling except for that.
And the <section> tag probably isn't necessary.
Assuming you include the iron-flex-layout code somewhere...
working code w/simple styling: http://jsbin.com/cetece/1/edit?html,output
<template id="app" is="dom-bind">
<paper-material class="card">
<div class="vertical layout">
<div class="horizontal layout row">
<paper-button raised class="button" data-dialog="loans">Student Loans</paper-button>
<paper-button raised class="button" data-dialog="wage">Minimum Wage</paper-button>
</div>
<div class="horizontal layout row">
<paper-button raised class="button" data-dialog="racism">Racism</paper-button>
<paper-button raised class="button" data-dialog="climate">Climate Change</paper-button>
</div>
<div class="horizontal layout row">
<paper-button raised class="button" data-dialog="privacy">Internet Privacy</paper-button>
<div class="button" > </div>
</div>
</div>
</paper-material>
</template>
This is an example if you need to have the buttons wrap into one row if the container is too small for 2 rows: http://jsbin.com/cetece/2/edit?html,output
Add wrap class to the rows and adjust the styles for a fixed button size and non-fixed wrapping container.
<template id="app" is="dom-bind">
<paper-material class="card">
<div class="vertical layout">
<div class="horizontal layout row wrap">
<paper-button raised class="button" data-dialog="loans">Student Loans</paper-button>
<paper-button raised class="button" data-dialog="wage">Minimum Wage</paper-button>
</div>
<div class="horizontal layout row wrap">
<paper-button raised class="button" data-dialog="racism">Racism</paper-button>
<paper-button raised class="button" data-dialog="climate">Climate Change</paper-button>
</div>
<div class="horizontal layout row wrap">
<paper-button raised class="button" data-dialog="privacy">Internet Privacy</paper-button>
<div class="button" > </div>
</div>
</div>
</paper-material>
</template>
If you need the buttons to go be able to all align horizontally if needed then simply remove all of the row containers, and the vertical layout container, and place all paper-buttons in one single container, such as the paper-material.

polymer core-animated-pages inside a list

I want to create a structure where i have a list and i can animate each item of the list with hero transitions. But if i make it like this then all items get on top of each other... What should I do?
<template repeat="{{item in items}}">
<div layout vertical content
flex>
<core-animated-pages content
layout vertical flex >
<section>
<paper-shadow class="chain">
{{item}}
</paper-shadow>
</section>
<section>
{{item.artists}}
</section>
</core-animated-pages>
</div>
</template>
To keep the items from overlapping you need to make sure that your element has a height. You can do this by using layout attributes on the body itself and your custom element instance.
<body fullbleed layout vertical>
<polymer-element name="x-foo">
<template>
<template repeat="{{item in items}}">
<div layout vertical flex>
<core-animated-pages layout vertical flex>
<section>
{{item.artist}}
</section>
</core-animated-pages>
</div>
</template>
</template>
<script>
Polymer({
items: [
{
artist: 'Some dude'
},
{
artist: 'Some other dude'
}
]
});
</script>
</polymer-element>
<x-foo layout vertical flex></x-foo>
</body>
