A starter template for building Polymer apps with a drawer-based layout and PRPL pattern.
Polymer Starter Kit is a template for building web applications with the Polymer library. It provides a drawer-based layout and implements the PRPL pattern to optimize performance by enabling fast initial rendering and efficient lazy-loading of routes. The kit is designed to work with Polymer CLI for streamlined development and production builds.
Frontend developers and teams building modern web applications with Web Components and Polymer who want a performance-optimized, structured starting point.
Developers choose Polymer Starter Kit for its ready-to-use implementation of the PRPL pattern, integrated tooling with Polymer CLI, and production-ready build configurations that support multiple browser targets.
A starting point for Polymer apps
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Implements the PRPL pattern for fast initial loading and efficient route-based lazy-loading, as detailed in the README, optimizing performance for progressive web apps.
Provides production builds for ES5, ES6, and ESM targets with bundling, minification, and service workers, ensuring compatibility across different browsers as described in the build section.
Seamlessly works with Polymer CLI for project initialization, development server, and building, streamlining the workflow from setup to deployment.
Includes Web Component Tester for running tests across installed browsers, facilitating automated testing from the start without additional configuration.
Polymer has a smaller community and fewer third-party resources compared to mainstream frameworks like React or Vue, which can slow development and limit support options.
Requires specific tools like Polymer CLI and npm for setup and builds, adding complexity and a learning curve for teams not already invested in the Polymer ecosystem.
The README references older versions and migrations, indicating that the project might have undergone significant changes, posing maintenance challenges and instability risks.
