Polymer

[gbisheimer]

First of all, thanks you for this great package!

I'm having problems making this to work with Polymer components because Polymer's package name contains a slash in it ('Polymer/core-icons' for example), and your package is trying to import the files from the wrong path.

How can this package be used to install polymer and its related projects? Is there a workaround for this?

Thanks!

I was testing using the following bower.json file:

{
  "name": "my-app",
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "authors": [
    "Guillermo Bisheimer <gbisheimer@bys-control.com.ar>"
  ],
  "license": "MIT",
  "ignore": [
    "**/.*",
    "node_modules",
    "bower_components",
    "test",
    "tests"
  ],
  "dependencies": {
    "select2": "~3.5.2",
    "polymer": "~0.5.1",
    "webcomponents": "polymer/webcomponentsjs#~0.5.1"
  }
}

and meteor-bower fails to install webcomponents package.

Same problem here.

@lorensr, I¡ve fixed this in my branch. Submitted a PR to @mquandalle but it has not been merged yet.

Same issue, any ETA?

[lorensr]

@tobsai, we should be merging the change soon. @gbisheimer were you able to get polymer working with the components installed in .meteor/local/bower, or did you have to set it to a public/ directory as those in #31 had to?

@lorensr, I couldn't find a way to use polymer components under .meteor/local/bower folder because polymer components need to have access to each other's files, and you need to have them packaged in meteor during build (using compileStep.AddAsset). You can specify which assets are published by adding a main entry in bower.json (look at select2) and those will get published by meteor-bower automatically. But with polymer this is not possible as this entry was not included in any bower.json file of any component.
One possible option can be to use the aditionalFiles entry (deprecated when smart.json support was dropped) in main project bower.json referencing the files that should be included as meteor assets. The code is still alive in meteor-bower but not used anymore. Any other ideas?
