yo polymer-1-element

Trust the local SSL certificate

You need to locally trust the SSL certificate:

• You can find the certificates in the /ssl folder of the generated element.
• Open up Keychain Access. You can find it as Application/Utilities/Keychain Access.app.
• Drag your certificate into Keychain Access.
• Go into the Certificates section and locate the certificate you just added.
• Double click on it, enter the trust section and under "When using this certificate" select "Always Trust".

You don't need to trust this certificate for every generated element. Trust it once and it will work for all subsequent generated elements.

Develop

The element is element-name.html in the root directory of the generated element.

Run

npm run start-dev

and visit https://localhost:5020

Test

Ensure you have the latest Firefox installed, then:

npm test

Unit tests are currently only run on Firefox due to a Chrome issue.

Deploy

The generated element is set up to be deployed on Heroku.

Just create a Heroku app using the NodeJS buildpack, connect Github deployment and make sure that Heroku runs the $ npm start script.
