It is true that web components can have properties and accessors like any object. But what you cant do is pass anything other than a string to a web component's attributes in the markup. I wrote a short article about this when I was investigating web components with JsPlumb a while ago:

TL;DR I ended up creating a context object and a BaseComponent that can access the context. Subclasses of the base component prefix their attributes with a colon to instruct the code to look in the context:

<date-label :value="now"></date-label>
