# jamiesmiths
This is the new code base for main personal site [https://JamieSmiths.com](https://JamieSmiths.com).
It was scaffolded out using the polymer-cli tool; Chose for rapid generation and was curious on what's changed since polymer ≤ v1.
Leaving more on that below of anyone finds this and wants to explore.
### Setup
If anyone wants to use this for their own thing, here's the setup to get it going...
##### Prerequisites
First, install [Polymer CLI](https://github.com/Polymer/polymer-cli) using
[npm](https://www.npmjs.com) (we assume you have pre-installed [node.js](https://nodejs.org)).
npm install -g polymer-cli
Second, install [Bower](https://bower.io/) using [npm](https://www.npmjs.com)
npm install -g bower
##### Initialize project from template
mkdir my-app
cd my-app
polymer init polymer-2-starter-kit
### Start the development server
This command serves the app at `http://127.0.0.1:8081` and provides basic URL
routing for the app:
polymer serve
### Build
The `polymer build` command builds your Polymer application for production, using build configuration options provided by the command line or in your project's `polymer.json` file.
You can configure your `polymer.json` file to create multiple builds. This is necessary if you will be serving different builds optimized for different browsers. You can define your own named builds, or use presets. See the documentation on [building your project for production](https://www.polymer-project.org/2.0/toolbox/build-for-production) for more information.
The Polymer Starter Kit is configured to create three builds using [the three supported presets](https://www.polymer-project.org/2.0/toolbox/build-for-production#build-presets):
```
"builds": [
{
"preset": "es5-bundled"
},
{
"preset": "es6-bundled"
},
{
"preset": "es6-unbundled"
}
]
```
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](https://www.polymer-project.org/2.0/toolbox/build-for-production#compiling) 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.
Run `polymer help build` for the full list of available options and optimizations. Also, see the documentation on the [polymer.json specification](https://www.polymer-project.org/2.0/docs/tools/polymer-json) and [building your Polymer application for production](https://www.polymer-project.org/2.0/toolbox/build-for-production).
### Preview the build
This command serves your app. Replace `build-folder-name` with the folder name of the build you want to serve.
polymer serve build/build-folder-name/
### Run tests
This command will run [Web Component Tester](https://github.com/Polymer/web-component-tester)
against the browsers currently installed on your machine:
polymer test
If running Windows you will need to set the following environment variables:
- LAUNCHPAD_BROWSERS
- LAUNCHPAD_CHROME
Read More here [daffl/launchpad](https://github.com/daffl/launchpad#environment-variables-impacting-local-browsers-detection)
### 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.
