Github

Overview

The Polymer 3 Starter Kit provides a solid foundation for developers looking to dive into the world of Progressive Web Applications (PWAs) using web components. With Polymer transitioning into maintenance mode, the kit is a testament to its legacy and a great resource for those eager to start harnessing the capabilities of Polymer 3. Though it won't be receiving new features, the existing framework is still updated to ensure its compatibility with modern development standards.

This starter kit is ideal for developers who want a clean and efficient structure for their projects, enabling them to focus on building high-quality applications with ease. It encourages better coding practices through TypeScript and SCSS integration, making it a practical choice for both new and seasoned developers.

Features

  • Latest Polymer 3 Preview: Stay ahead with the latest innovations and features that Polymer 3 has to offer.
  • Component Structuring: Components are split into separate class, styles, and templates, preventing large, unwieldy files and promoting modular development.
  • TypeScript Integration: Comes preconfigured with TSLint, ensuring that you write reliable, high-quality code effortlessly.
  • SCSS Support: The use of SCSS by default means you can write less code while accomplishing more, streamlining your development process.
  • Lazy-Loading: Utilizes dynamic import syntax for efficient lazy-loading, improving performance by loading components only when needed.
  • Enhanced Routing Examples: Includes static and dynamic subroute examples to assist developers in navigating routing intricacies.
  • Shared Styles & Iconset: Provides a consistent look and feel with shared styles and a custom icon set similar to the original Polymer Starter Kit.
  • Automatic Service Worker Setup: Effortlessly generate service workers using Workbox for offline capabilities, enhancing user experience.

scss
SCSS

SCSS is a preprocessor scripting language that extends the capabilities of CSS by adding features such as variables, nesting, and mixins. It allows developers to write more efficient and maintainable CSS code, and helps to streamline the development process by reducing repetition and increasing reusability.

typescript
Typescript

TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.

webpack
Webpack

Webpack is a popular open-source module bundler for JavaScript applications that bundles and optimizes the code and its dependencies for production-ready deployment. It can also be used to transform other types of assets such as CSS, images, and fonts.
