1.2.9

Generator Polymer v1.2.9 is now out. A full changelog is available for this release. Thanks to everyone that contributed! 😻

Highlights

• Added support for GitHub enterprise
• 🔒 Added support for https or ssh deploys to GitHub pages
• 💋 An element created with yo polymer:el will have test index.html beautified to preserve indentation.
• 🚀 yo polymer app now uses Polymer Starter Kit v1.2.2. See the PSK changelog for details.
• 🌱 yo polymer:seed now uses seed-element 1.0.7. See changelog for details.

1.0, Polymer Starter Kit support

Polymer Starter Kit

With this release the application scaffold produced by the generator is now based on Polymer Starter Kit. Major highlights include:

• Polymer 1.0, Paper and Iron elements
• Material Design layout
• Routing with Page.js
• Unit testing with Web Component Tester
• Offline-first setup through Service Worker elements
• End-to-end Build Tooling (including Vulcanize)

Seed Element

In addition, the yo polymer:seed subgenerator has been updated to use the latest seed-element with automatic support for the updated iron-component-page (example).

Breaking Changes

• Grunt support has been dropped. This is because the project now uses PSK as the starting point and PSK is currently Gulp only.
• SASS support has been dropped in favor of CSS custom properties. Read more about working with custom properties. Custom properties are new web standards which expand the capabilities of CSS and, most importantly, obviate the need for using ::shadow and /deep/ to theme Web Components.

0.7.0, Gulping Goanna

This is a big release. Not unlike its namesake, the goanna!

As the name implies, this release adds much awaited Gulp support, as well as a few changes to bring it more inline with the Web Starter Kit project.

Features

• Added GulpJS support
• Replaced LiveReload with BrowserSync
• App template now generates a Material Design scaffold using core-* elements.

Bugfixes

• #115 test/index has seed-element-basic.html in loadSuites
• #95 HTML Minification - Ignoring {{route}}

Important breaking changes

• The bower_components directory has been moved outside the app folder. It's now in the project root directory. See this post for more info.
• Testing is now done with grunt|gulp test:local and grunt|gulp test:remote. grunt|gulp test and grunt|gulp test:browser have been removed
• Removed option to use LibSass as it has issues compiling Shadow DOM CSS selectors

0.6.0, Questing Quokka

It's been a while since the last release, but I'm happy to say that v0.6.0 is now ready, and with it comes a tuned up version of Polymer (v0.5.1), the new webcomponents.js polyfills, and improved tests with web-component-tester. I'm so happy for this release, I named it after the happiest animal in the world: the Quokka

Important breaking change: The polymer:seed sub generator will now create the directory for your new component, so you can run it from any components directory, instead of having to create the folder yourself. It will also check to make sure it's ok to bower install from that location, so you don't accidentally spray files all over your desktop :)

Full details of the changes are below.

0.4.0, Curious Cassowary

Yay! 0.4.0 is ready for mass consumption :) We're calling this one Curious Cassowary

Lots of big things added in this version: SASS, PageSpeed Insights, and Autoprefixer. Elements are now created in their own directories, with separate CSS or SCSS files. And the yo polymer:el task will now ask if you want to generate an external CSS or SCSS file (based on your initial setup) and ask if you would like to have your imports automatically included in elements.html.

If you previously installed the pre-release version (0.4.0-1) you should be able to run npm install -g generator-polymer to update.

0.3.1, Wisdom Wombat

This is a patch release to fixup our broken grunt distribution build. Running grunt will now produce a dist folder which properly vulcanizes its elements and works with grunt serve:dist.

We've also unified around using 2 spaces for everything (the previous version had mixed 2 and 4 space files).

Generator reboot

This is a reboot of the generator-polymer after a lot of confusion regarding the old behavior. The default yo polymer task will now generate a Polymer application (instead of just generating an element). It will no longer bower install its dependencies into the parent directory. To create a new element within your application, you can run yo polymer:el.

The old behavior for creating stand-alone shareable element repos has been preserved. To create a shareable element using the old behavior, run yo polymer:seed and to generate docs for that element run yo polymer:gh.
