generator-polymer-middleware v0.2.6
generator-polymer-middleware
Yoeman Generator for polymer elements and a bunch of middleware (express, koa, hapi) with support for Polymer 1.0 and either a mongodb or an elasticjs back-end (may combine the two since elastic is a bit wonky on writes)
Notes
* `express` template follows a SPA design at the moment TODO
* `koa` AND `HAPI` integration is not ready yet.Usage
Generate application interactively (supports jade or html)
yo polymer-middlewareGenerate an element interactively (supports jaded elements or normal polymer elements)
*coming soon*Introduction
This is a simple yeoman polymer+express (+jade) generator for Google's opinionated Polymer 1.0 web-components based applications. (try saying that three times over).
It utilizes gulp for code-twiddling.
It interweaves Polymer and Express in a way that actually works with both paradigms (that's mostly thanks to express being highly unopinionated).
Currently there are three flavors of front-end generators available:
1) html2) EJS 3) jade
and there are two starting templates:
1) minimal
2) polymer-starter-kitCoding engines
Jade
Some people like to code in jade (I may be becoming one of them, but haven't done anything extensive in it) and it's the express way, and I was merging express, so I couldn't not do jade.
HTML
Some people only want to work in html, they like closing tags and verbosity keeping the </> movement is alive -- and I am currently one of them (which makes typing this into a markdown document kind of ironic). For those of us, that do not want to template in jade, there is the html option
EJS
Because it was being requested. It's there but is not fully tested.
Examples
The included minimal template is exactly that, a minimal example of a polymer app running along with express as the server-side router. The client-side routing is done using page.js;
The include polymer-starter-kit is diablorized from Polymer yeoman package, and express is grafted on top with appropriate changes to gulp
