Template compilation error: the attribute 'property' is missing in \<bindable> in local element "yyyy"

### **Error message**

Template compilation error: the attribute 'property' is missing in {{0:outerHTML}} in local element "{{1}}"

### **Parameters**

1. `bindableElementHTML`: The outer HTML of the `<bindable>` element that is missing the `property` attribute.
2. `localElementName`: The name of the local element (`as-custom-element` value) where the invalid `<bindable>` was found.

### Error explanation

This error occurs during template compilation when a `<bindable>` element, used to define bindable properties for a local element, does not have the required `property` attribute. The `property` attribute specifies the name of the bindable property being defined for the local element.

### Common causes

* Forgetting to add the `property` attribute to a `<bindable>` tag within a local element definition (`<template as-custom-element="...">`).
* A typo in the attribute name (e.g., `propery` instead of `property`).

### How to fix

* Add the `property="propertyName"` attribute to the `<bindable>` tag, specifying the desired name for the bindable property.

### Example of Incorrect Usage:

```html
<!-- my-component.html -->
<template>
  <local-element message="Hello"></local-element>

  <template as-custom-element="local-element">
    <!-- Error: Missing 'property' attribute -->
    <bindable attribute="message"></bindable>

    <span>${message}</span>
  </template>
</template>
```

### Example of Correct Usage:

```html
<!-- my-component.html -->
<template>
  <local-element message="Hello"></local-element>

  <template as-custom-element="local-element">
    <!-- Correct: 'property' attribute is present -->
    <bindable property="message" attribute="message"></bindable>

    <span>${message}</span>
  </template>
</template>
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.aurelia.io/developer-guides/error-messages/0088-to-0723/aur0711.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
