First, install Polymer CLI using npm (we assume you have pre-installed node.js).
npm install -g polymer-cli
Second, install Bower using npm
npm install -g bower
This command serves the app at http://127.0.0.1:8081 and provides basic URL
routing for the app:
polymer serve
The polymer build command builds your Polymer application for production, using build configuration options provided by the command line or in your project's polymer.json file.
You can configure your polymer.json file to create multiple builds. This is necessary if you will be serving different builds optimized for different browsers. You can define your own named builds, or use presets. See the documentation on building your project for production for more information.
The Polymer Starter Kit is configured to create three builds using the three supported presets:
"builds": [
{
"preset": "es5-bundled"
},
{
"preset": "es6-bundled"
},
{
"preset": "es6-unbundled"
}
]
Builds will be output to a subdirectory under the build/ directory as follows:
build/
es5-bundled/
es6-bundled/
es6-unbundled/
es5-bundledis a bundled, minified build with a service worker. ES6 code is compiled to ES5 for compatibility with older browsers.es6-bundledis a bundled, minified build with a service worker. ES6 code is served as-is. This build is for browsers that can handle ES6 code - see building your project for production for a list.es6-unbundledis an unbundled, minified build with a service worker. ES6 code is served as-is. This build is for browsers that support HTTP/2 push.
Run polymer help build for the full list of available options and optimizations. Also, see the documentation on the polymer.json specification and building your Polymer application for production.
This command serves your app. Replace build-folder-name with the folder name of the build you want to serve.
polymer serve build/build-folder-name/
