I have been struggling for quiet a while about using paper-data-table (paper data table by David Mulder) in my angular 2 application.
The problem im facing is descri
elements are processed by Angular internally and never actually land in the DOM.
Some suggestions
ensure you have shadow DOM enabled for Polymer and full polyfills loaded for browsers without native shadow DOM support. See also https://www.polymer-project.org/1.0/docs/devguide/settings.html
you could wrap the element that provides the and the data-table element inside another Polymer element, so that Angular doesn't process the
element because it's part of a Polymer element instead of a Angular view.
you could try to add the template element imperatively to the DOM to circument Angulars template processing
