This is a polymer component seed which you can use to build your polymer component.

This comes with a few grunt task to enable easier development and distrubtion/release.

Some Features:

• demo page is setup with the polybuild output
• unit testing support
• development environment is setup to allow module/class based coding
• Files are watched and polybuild will merge them together
• The grunt server has livereload to automatically refresh the page
• master branch is a orphan branch to only contain the final distribution files and demo page.

#Prerequites

• Node
• Bower
• Grunt
• Polybuild (https://github.com/PolymerLabs/polybuild)
• GIT (optional)

#Setup

1. Clone repo or download the zip
2. run npm install
3. run bower install
4. (optional) If you wish to rename the component from seed-component to your desired name you can run the following grunt task. This will replace all instances of seed-component in every file.

grunt rename --name=my-component

This will replace all instances of seed-component name in the project folder.

demo/ : This is where you create your demo. The index page is linked to dist folder files.
test/ : This is where you create your unit tests. src/ : This is where your development code goes.
--js/ : This is for your script files
--style/ : This is for yout component css files. In the component html file I have added a style include which doesnt exist '-theme'. This is to all for custom theming.
dist/ : This is where grunt will create the distribution files

Run grunt develop and your browser should open localhost with your project. Navigate to demo/ and make changes to the files in src/ to see livereload working.

Once you want to push the files to the master branch ensure your develop branch is committed and run grunt release this will push only the distribution files and the demo page to master with the correct linkage to allow the demo page to work.

#Grunt Tasks

grunt develop : to run a server, file watching, livereload and distribution creation as files change
grunt serve : this will spin up a server
grunt dist : this will create the distribution files
grunt release : release the component to the master branch
