In Polymer 0.5 the advice on globals was as outlined in this question/answer:
Polymer global variables
However in Polymer 1.0 this doesn't seem to work. Change notifications are not automatically generated on the underlying model, they are generated on the <dom-module>
instead which means that change notifications will be generated on only one of the <app-globals>
.
What is the recommended way of implementing this pattern in Polymer 1.0?
The value of a global variable can be changed accidently as it can be used by any function in the program. If we use a large number of global variables, then there is a high chance of error generation in the program.
Global variables are stored in the data section. Unlike the stack, the data region does not grow or shrink — storage space for globals persists for the entire run of the program. Finally, the heap portion of memory is the part of a program's address space associated with dynamic memory allocation.
A global variable is a variable that is declared in the global scope in other words, a variable that is visible from all other scopes. In JavaScript it is a property of the global object.
A global variable can be classified as either session or database based on the scope of the value: The value of a session global variable is uniquely associated with each session that uses this particular global variable. Session global variables are either built-in global variables or user-defined global variables.
Polymer element <iron-meta>
is also an option. For me this was the easiest solution.
