polymd

The polymd (polymer-module) is a module to easily create a Polymer web component element from the template.

It will create the following structure:

| - demo
|    - index.html
| - tasks
|    - lint-task.js
|    - release.js
| - test
|    - basic-test.html
|    - index.html
| - .editorconfig
| - .gitattributes
| - .gitignore
| - .jsbeautifyrc
| - .jscsrc
| - .travis.yml
| - bower.json
| - CONTRIBUTING.md
| - gulpfile.js
| - index.html
| - LICENSE.md
| - my-element.html
| - package.json
| - README.md

• demo - Demo pages with predefined index file
• tasks - Gulp tasks directory
  • lint-task.js - Call with gulp lint to run linters
  • release.js - Call with gulp release to publish the release. it uses conventional-github-releaser to release the update.
• test - Test cases directory. see web components tester for more information
  • basic-test.html - A home for basic tests. it will contain a simple test case example
  • index.html - A file where test cases files should be included.
• .editorconfig - Unified editor configuration
• .gitattributes, .gitignore - Git setup files
• .jsbeautifyrc, .jscsrc - Linters files with unified setup
• .travis.yml - Travis integration file
• bower.json - Bower definition for dependency management
• CONTRIBUTING.md - A file with description of how to contribute to the project. It will be automatically included into new issue page on github. TODO: It's currently ARC specific file. Should be more generic.
• gulpfile.js - Gulp definitions file. It only includes tasks form the tasks directory.
• index.html - Documentation page for the component.
• LICENSE.md - The license file. TODO: It's Apache 2 only. Could be some option to choose between different licenses.
• my-element.html - Generated element. Name of the file depends on the component name.
• package.json - Node dependencies required in gulp tasks.
• README.md - Auto-generated readme file.

Install

sudo npm install polymd -g

It's better to install it as a global command since it doesn't have interface to include it into another node nodule.

Usage

polymd MODULE-NAME [ --description "the description"] [--author "the author"] [--version "1.0.0"] [--repository "my-org"] [--skip-tests] [--skip-demo]

MODULE-NAME

The name of the web component. It must be consisted with alphanumeric characters and a - sign. All uppercase characters will be normalized to lowercase.

Options

Option	Shortcut	Description
--description	-d	Short description for the component used in bower and in the package file
--author	-a	Author of the component. You can set up the POLYMD_AUTHOR env variable to automatically insert it into this field. If not, the USER variable will be used (if present).
--version	-v	Version of the component. Use semantic version standard.
--repository	-r	The repository of the element. It should be only a user or organization name and component name will be appended. Use the POLYMD_REPO env variable to automate this.
