Angular: @ViewChildren() with dart:html's Element does not work

[matanlurey]

So going from...

class Comp {
  @ViewChild('foo')
  ElementRef foo;
}

... to ...

class Comp {
  @ViewChild('foo')
  Element foo;
}

... does not work. We'd need a similar fix as one from QueryList -> List.

(This isn't strictly supported, but it will make the migration much easier)

Now fixed at HEAD!

@matanlurey - I'm using Angular alpha+7 and it doesn't seem to work. Is there anything preventing this from making it into a release? Thanks. /cc @kwalrath

@chalin See https://github.com/dart-lang/angular/blob/master/_tests/test/regression/814_query_html_element_test.dart.

How about for @ViewChildren()? Do I need to use the read: parameter in that case?

[matanlurey]

Should work the same, AFAIK. If not it could be a bug.

Scratch that, it was never implemented for ViewChildren. Let's re-open this.

This works now as #1078!
