Question

I am attempting to listen to a button click on the a toolbar that toggles the main drawer of a drawer_panel when the button is clicked, but without much success.

The code is shown below - the code in the method void menu_icon_handler() is incorrect.

                icon="menu"
                id='menu_icon'

            </core-toolbar>

            <section id='new-patient'>

            </section>

          </section>
        </core-drawer-panel>

      </template>

      <script type="application/dart">

        import 'package:polymer/polymer.dart';
        import 'dart:html';

        import 'package:core_elements/core_drawer_panel.dart';

        @CustomTag( 'main-form' )
        class MainForm extends PolymerElement
        {
          CoreDrawerPanel drawerPanel;

          MainForm.created() : super.created();

          void toggleDrawer()
          {
            bool state = drawerPanel.narrow;
          }

          void menu_icon_handler()
          {
            bool state =  drawerPanel.narrow;

            print ( state );
          }

          @override
          void attached()
          {
             super.attached();

             drawerPanel = $['drawerPanel']  as CoreDrawerPanel;
          }
        }
      </script>
    </polymer-element>

When the toolbar button is clicked, I get the following stacktrace

Exception: The null object does not have a getter 'narrow'.

NoSuchMethodError: method not found: 'narrow'
Receiver: null

I see the null, looking at the docs 'narrow' is an attribute of CoreDrawerPanel

Was it helpful?

Solution

You look the element up with

drawerPanel = $['drawerPanel']  as CoreDrawerPanel;

but your HTML doesn't contain an element with id drawerPanel, but you have an element with id core_drawer_panel

changing the id in this line should solve the problem

drawerPanel = $['core_drawer_panel']  as CoreDrawerPanel;
