StephenWeber.io Website

Project is Polymer 2.0 project for StephenWeber.io website is based partially off the Polymer Starter Kit

Lighthouse PWA Report Score of 100

Quick Start

Step 1

Install Polymer CLI using npm

npm install -g polymer-cli

Step 2

Install Bower

npm install -g bower

Step 3

Fork, clone and run:

polymer serve --module-resolution=node

Then open browser to http://127.0.0.1:8081

Setup

Prerequisites

Install Polymer CLI using npm (we assume you have pre-installed node.js).

npm install -g polymer-cli

Initialize project from template

mkdir my-app
cd my-app
polymer init polymer-3-starter-kit

Start the development server

This command serves the app at http://127.0.0.1:8081 and provides basic URL routing for the app:

npm start

Build

The npm run 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. These builds will be output to a subdirectory under the build/ directory as follows:

build/
  es5-bundled/
  es6-bundled/
  esm-bundled/

• es5-bundled is a bundled, minified build with a service worker. ES6 code is compiled to ES5 for compatibility with older browsers.
• es6-bundled is 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.
• esm-bundled is a bundled, minified build with a service worker. It uses standard ES module import/export statements for browsers that support them.

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.

Preview the build

This command serves your app. Replace build-folder-name with the folder name of the build you want to serve.

npm start build/build-folder-name/

Run tests

This command will run Web Component Tester against the browsers currently installed on your machine:

npm test

If running Windows you will need to set the following environment variables:

• LAUNCHPAD_BROWSERS
• LAUNCHPAD_CHROME

Old Setup

Prerequisites

Step 1

Step 2

Install Polymer CLI using npm (we assume you have pre-installed node.js).

npm install -g polymer-cli

Step 3

Build

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-bundled is a bundled, minified build with a service worker. ES6 code is compiled to ES5 for compatibility with older browsers.
• es6-bundled is 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-unbundled is 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.

Preview the build

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/

Preview Before Deploy

firebase serve

Deploy to Firebase

firebase deploy

Run tests

This command will run Web Component Tester against the browsers currently installed on your machine:

polymer test

If running Windows you will need to set the following environment variables:

• LAUNCHPAD_BROWSERS
• LAUNCHPAD_CHROME

Adding a new view

You can extend the app by adding more views that will be demand-loaded e.g. based on the route, or to progressively render non-critical sections of the application. Each new demand-loaded fragment should be added to the list of fragments in the included polymer.json file. This will ensure those components and their dependencies are added to the list of pre-cached components and will be included in the build.
