Dart: Using observable with multiple getter/setter(s)

Question

for my Polymer application I need one observable in two different flavors, for example as an integer-value and and string-value. I use getters and setters to encapsulate the

Answer 1

I have not tested it, but it should work and I think its notable less code if you have more such properties.

@CustomTag('click-counter')
class ClickCounter extends PolymerElement {
  int _count;
  @observable int get count => _count;
  set count(int val) { 
    notifyPropertyChange(#count,_count,val);
    notifyPropertyChange(#strcount, _count.toString(), val.toString());
    _count = val;

  @observable String get strcount { 
    // print("TOSTRING "+_count.toString()); 
    return _count.toString();}

  set strcount(String val) { 
    count = int.parse(val); // set the new value using the setter not the field to fire property change
  }

  ClickCounter.created() : super.created();

  void increment() {
    count++;
  }
}
