f-singleton v2.5.1

<f-singleton>

Polymer element that helps implementing singleton pattern declaratively.

Common use case is to provide shared state in your elements (e.g. for configuration).

Using ES6 features, so take care in production apps.

• Try out live demo.
• Learn about element properties and methods in component page (temporarily not working).

Example:

<f-singleton key="myKey" value="something"></f-singleton>
<f-singleton key="myKey" value="{{myValue}}"></f-singleton>
<!-- myValue is now 'something' -->
<p>[[myValue]]</p>

key is a property name to bind value to. You can also use deep keys, like key="myObj.myProp".

Missing Features

The following Polymer helper methods are not implemented for manipulating data object directly:

pop, shift, unshift, or splice.

It would also be great to implement "domains" so that there could be different groups of singletons.

Development

From here on, documentation will only concern development of this component.

Dependencies

Element dependencies are managed via Bower. You can install that via:

npm install -g bower

Then, go ahead and download the element's dependencies:

bower install

Playing With Your Element

If you wish to work on your element in isolation, we recommend that you use Polyserve to keep your element's bower dependencies in line. You can install it via:

npm install -g polyserve

And you can run it via:

polyserve

Once running, you can preview your element at http://localhost:8080/components/f-singleton/, where f-singleton is the name of the directory containing it.

Testing Your Element

Simply navigate to the /test directory of your element to run its tests. If you are using Polyserve: http://localhost:8080/components/f-singleton/test/

web-component-tester

The tests are compatible with web-component-tester. Install it via:

npm install -g web-component-tester

Then, you can run your tests on all of your local browsers via:

wct

WCT Tips

wct -l chrome will only run tests in chrome.

wct -p will keep the browsers alive after test runs (refresh to re-run).

wct test/some-file.html will test only the files you specify.
