HTMLMetaElement throw TypeError: Illegal constructor

[amrgetment]

In Flutter 3.19 I tried web 0.4.2 and I got the following error TypeError: Illegal constructor
when I used HTMLMetaElement

  final HTMLMetaElement metaElement = HTMLMetaElement()
    ..name = 'google-signin-client_id'
    ..content = flavor.googleWebClientId;

This is actually a duplicate of #53 and not the other issue - the way to instantiate Elements is document.createElement(<name_of_element_tag>) e.g. document.createElement('meta'). There's a different request to autogenerate such syntax (or stop generating Element constructors since they're broken) for each Element, and that'll likely be the solution for #53.

@srujzs I wonder why web team decided to use createElement for all tags?
document.createElement('meta') vs MetaElement

@amrgetment – the decision is to just ship what the standard IDL gives us (for now). We have a BUNCH of extra stuff in dart:html to make things easier. We're going slow adding these helpers and extra things to pkg:web.

@kevmoo Great in the future we will use Flutter as HTML 😂
HTML(
body: Column(children: [ImgElement(src:'url'), ])
)

😂😂😂

FYI - this is addressed in #185 and should be in the next version release.
