Project Hoverboard is the next generation conference website template after Project Zeppelin and more optimized version - Project Zeppelin-Grunt.
This template, along with the polymer-cli toolchain, also demonstrates use
of the "PRPL pattern" This pattern allows fast first delivery and interaction with
the content at the initial route requested by the user, along with fast subsequent
navigation by pre-caching the remaining components required by the app and
progressively loading them on-demand as the user navigates through the app.
The PRPL pattern, in a nutshell:
- Push components required for the initial route
- Render initial route ASAP
- Pre-cache components for remaining routes
- Lazy-load and progressively upgrade next routes on-demand
Install polymer-cli:
npm install -g polymer-cli
mkdir my-app
cd my-app
polymer init app-drawer-template
This command serves the app at http://localhost:8080 and provides basic URL
routing for the app:
polymer serve
This command performs HTML, CSS, and JS minification on the application
dependencies, and generates a service-worker.js file with code to pre-cache the
dependencies based on the entrypoint and fragments specified in polymer.json.
The minified files are output to the build/unbundled folder, and are suitable
for serving from a HTTP/2+Push compatible server.
In addition the command also creates a fallback build/bundled folder,
generated using fragment bundling, suitable for serving from non
H2/push-compatible servers or to clients that do not support H2/Push.
polymer build
This command serves the minified version of the app in an unbundled state, as it would be served by a push-compatible server:
polymer serve build/unbundled
This command serves the minified version of the app generated using fragment bundling:
polymer serve build/bundled
You can extend the app by adding more elements 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 have bundles created in the fallback bundled build).
