Description
The usage of properties outside of the properties object is not documented. From the docs:
In most cases, a property that's part of your element's public API should be declared in the properties object.
It is implied that there are use cases when you need not declare a property in the properties object.
One such use case might be a component's private property (like a config), that is set by the component itself (not received via attributes), and passed down to one of its children.
There are a few questions regarding this:
- Is the above scenario (or any scenario) a valid use case for outside-the-properties properties?
- Will basic data binding work for such properties?
- Will computed data binding work?
- Will such a property be bound at the first render (ready) of the markup?
- What is the best practice (Polymer-way) to declare or use such private properties?
