Building an app with Polymer App Toolbox

From the Polymer Project Documentation:

Initialize & serve your project from a template
===============================================

1. Create a new project folder to start from

	$ mkdir my-app
	$ cd my-app

2. Initialize your project

	$ docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/home/node/app -u node fresnizky/polymer-cli polymer init

3. Serve your project

	$ docker run --rm -d -p 8080:8080 -v $(pwd):/home/node/app -u node fresnizky/polymer-cli polymer serve -H 0.0.0.0 -p 8080

	and just point your browser to port 8080

Quick Tip

Since the docker run command is long, and if you're going to be using it often, I would suggest creating/adding an alias for it in your .bash_profile or .bashrc, like:

alias polymer='docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/home/node/app -u node fresnizky/polymer-cli polymer '
alias polymer-serve='docker run --rm -d -p 8080:8080 -v $(pwd):/home/node/app -u node fresnizky/polymer-cli polymer serve -H 0.0.0.0 -p 8080'

and then you can just use polymer along with the Polymer CLI commands, like:

polymer init

to initialize a Polymer project, or

polymer-serve

to run a development server that you can reach at port 8080

Container Shell Access
