convoo-starter

A starter for your Polymer app using Firebase and Redux

---

Convoo's starter is a starting point for Polymer apps built on top of the Polymer Starter Kit. Convoo's starter targets applications that are built using Firebase and Redux.

It comes with:

• Firebase authentication already set up for email as well as social providers
• Redux with polymer-redux set up with three main objects:
  1. firebase - object that persists to firebase and syncs with it
  2. local - object that persists to local storage and can be used to sync cookie data
  3. temp - object that stores temporary values that can be used in that session only - eg: routes
• Internationalization set up with a locales.json file for you to edit
• Example views:
  • iron-list view displaying a stream of information from firebase
  • Example form saving to firebase
  • Example file upload into Firebase Storage

Setup

1 - Get the starter

Using the Polymer CLI:

npm install -g polymer-cli
npm install -g generator-polymer-init-convoo-starter
polymer init convoo-starter

Simple Download.

2 - Setup firebase

npm install -g firebase-tools
firebase init

When Firebase asks you for your public directory enter build/unbundled. Since Firebase uses HTTP 2 this should be fine. You can also use build/bundled if you prefer.

3 - Serving while developing

While developing, you can quickly view wha tyou're working on using:

polymer serve

4 - Build & Deploy

When you're ready to deploy, first build your work and double check it locally:

polymer build
firebase serve

If everything works as expected then go ahead and deploy using:

firebase deploy
