Binding to a map

In this recipe, we show you how the data of a map can be displayed in a Polymer component. You can find the code in the project databinding_map.

How to do it...

2. We define a map companies, which we want to display in the file pol_map.dart:

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