Dart Polymer error 'List' is not a subtype of type 'ObservableList' of 'value'

I am using core-ajax-dart to fetch some data and put it in core-list-dart. And i keep getting this error. I am able to successfully pass heading which is String but I am not able to pass contacts. It fails with the following error

Exception: Uncaught Error: type 'List' is not a subtype of type 'ObservableList' of 'value'.

main page

<core-ajax-dart auto id="_ajax" url="https://polymer-contacts.firebaseio.com/{{category}}.json" handleAs="json"></core-ajax-dart>
<contacts-page class="page" id="contacts" contacts="{{contacts}}" heading="{{heading}}" flex></contacts-page>
List contacts;
ContactsPage cp = $['contacts'] as ContactsPage;
var ajax = $['_ajax'] as CoreAjax;
    ajax.on["core-response"].listen((event) {
      var detail = event.detail;
      var response = detail['response'];
      cp.contacts = response;
    });

element definition

<div id="title" flex>{{heading}}</div>
<core-list-dart id="list" data="{{contacts}}">
@published List contacts;
@published String heading;

The data attribute of <core-list-dart> requires an ObservableList instead of List.

What you can do is to change the field to a getter/setter where a passed List is automatically converted to a ObservableList like

class Model extends Object with Observable {
// or class SomeElement extends PolymerElement {

  ObservableList _contacts;
  @observable ObservableList get contacts => _contacts;
  set contacts(List contacts) {
    final old = _contacts;
    if(contacts is ObservableList) {
      _contacts = contacts;
    }
    _contacts = toObservable(contacts);
    notifyPropertyChange(#contacts, old, _contacts);
  }
}
