px-context-browser is a component that allows users to navigate through a graph of assets (like physical places or equipment) and select a specific asset they want to inspect. Other pieces of a web app can bind to the context — the asset the user selects - and use that information to update the UI with relevant information about that asset.
- node.js
- npm
- bower
- webcomponents-lite.js polyfill
Node, npm and bower are necessary to install the component and dependencies. webcomponents.js adds support for web components and custom elements to your application.
First, install the component via bower on the command line.
bower install px-context-browser --save
Second, import the component to your application with the following tag in your head.
<link rel="import" href="/bower_components/px-context-browser/px-context-browser.html"/>
Finally, use the component in your application:
<iron-ajax url="<URL.json>" last-response="{{browserContext}}" auto></iron-ajax>
<px-context-browser browserContext={{browserContext}}></px-context-browser>
