Creating Template Contents Dynamically

Following the example below, how would one utilize other elements such as paper-button and paper-input, etc in the template repeater section. And also, how would you create the component on the server side. I’m pretty confused how this works so any feedback is greatly appreciated.

TIA

<dom-repeat items="[[employees]
]">
                    <template>
                        <tr on-click="handleClick" id="[[item.name]
]">
                            <td>{{item.name}}</td>
                            <td>{{item.title}}</td>
                            <td>{{item.email}}</td>
                        </tr>
                    </template>
                </dom-repeat>
