Build

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.

Preview the build

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

Run tests

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

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.
