This is a front-end project for classic Algorithm implementations.

This project relies on the Polymer Starter Kit project in order to leverage the power of Polymer components.

• Polymer, Paper, Iron and Neon elements
• Material Design layout
• Routing with Page.js
• Unit testing with Web Component Tester
• Optional offline setup through Platinum Service Worker elements
• End-to-end Build Tooling (including Vulcanize)
• Graphics powered by D3.js.

This project requires the following major dependencies:

• Node.js, used to run JavaScript tools from the command line.
• npm, the node package manager, installed with Node.js and used to install Node.js packages.
• gulp, a Node.js-based build tool.
• bower, a Node.js-based package manager used to install front-end packages (like Polymer).

To install dependencies:

1. Check your Node.js version.

$ node --version

The version should be at or above 0.12.x.

2. If you don't have Node.js installed, or you have a lower version, go to nodejs.org and click on the big green Install button.

3. Install gulp and bower globally.

$ npm install -g gulp bower

This lets you run gulp and bower from the command line.

4. Install the starter kit's local npm and bower dependencies.

$ npm install && bower install

This installs the element sets (Paper, Iron, Platinum) and tools the starter kit requires to build and serve apps.

$ gulp serve

This outputs an IP address you can use to locally test and another that can be used on devices connected to your network.

$ gulp test:local

This runs the unit tests defined in the app/test directory through web-component-tester.

To run tests Java 7 or higher is required. To update Java go to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html and download JDK and install it.

The various graphics used in the app are based on D3.

$ gulp

Build and optimize the current project, ready for deployment. This includes vulcanization, image, script, stylesheet and HTML optimization and minification.

Web apps built with Polymer Starter Kit come configured with support for Web Component Tester - Polymer's preferred tool for authoring and running unit tests. This makes testing your element based applications a pleasant experience.

Polymer uses Bower for package management. This makes it easy to keep your elements up to date and versioned. For tooling, we use npm to manage Node.js-based dependencies.

Components installed by Bower live in the app/bower_components directory. This location is specified by the .bowerrc file. Many projects which follow Yeoman conventions place the bower_components directory outside of the app directory and then mount it using a server. This causes problems for tools like Vulcanize and web-component-shards which rely on relative paths. We've chosen to simplify things and have bower_components live inside of app to resolve these issues.
