Polymer Pokédex

Pokédex built with Polymer.

Prerequisites

First, install Bower using yarn (we assume you have pre-installed node.js):

yarn global add bower

And install the dependencies:

yarn install && bower install

Start the development server

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

yarn run serve

Build

The yarn 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 Pokédex 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.

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.

yarn run serve build/build-folder-name/
