The Dummy Text Generator Web Component

Introduction

paper-lipsum is a web component created using Polymer to let your display dummy blocks of text on your website using just one tag, instead of having to copy paste the whole block from a website. It's as easy as 1-2-3.

Take a look at the Documentation & Demo

Web Component Demo

<paper-lipsum></paper-lipsum>

Installation

Make sure you have Node/NPM and Bower installed. Then, run this command:

bower install --save AmruthPillai/paper-lipsum

Import the webcomponents.js script to your webpage, if you haven't already:

<script src="bower_components/webcomponentsjs/webcomponents-lite.js"></script>

Then, import the paper-lipsum component to your webpage:

<link rel="import" href="bower_components/paper-lipsum/paper-lipsum.html">

That's all you need to start using the <paper-lipsum> tag. Magical, isn't it?

Usage

All you need to do to get some dummy text is:

<paper-lipsum></paper-lipsum>

I'm not kidding... that's it! (I'm starting to sound like I'm overselling this component, aren't I?)

But of course, there are a few other ways to manipulate this text too... like displaying a certain number of words:

<paper-lipsum words="200"></paper-lipsum>

You can check this out in action on the GitHub demo page: https://amruthpillai.github.io/paper-lipsum/
