Polymer.dart

Polymer.dart is a set of comprehensive UI and utility components for building web applications. With Polymer.dart's custom elements, templating, data binding, and other features, you can quickly build structured, encapsulated, client-side web apps.

Polymer.dart is a Dart port of Polymer created and maintained by the Dart team. The Dart team is collaborating with the Polymer team to ensure that polymer.dart elements and polyfills are fully compatible with Polymer.

Polymer.dart replaces Web UI, which has been deprecated.

Try It Now

Add the polymer.dart package to your pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  polymer: ^1.0.0

Instead of using any, we recommend using version ranges to avoid getting your project broken on each release. Using a version range lets you upgrade your package at your own pace. You can find the latest version number at https://pub.dartlang.org/packages/polymer.

Note: While in release_candidate stage, we recommend that you pin to a specific version:

dependencies:
  polymer: 1.0.0-rc.1

Building and Deploying

To build a deployable version of your app, add the polymer transformer to your pubspec.yaml file:

transformers:
- polymer:
    entry_points:
    - web/index.html

Then, run pub build.

Testing

Polymer elements can be tested using either the original unittest or new test packages. Just make sure to wait for initPolymer() to complete before running your tests:

@TestOn('browser')
import 'package:polymer/polymer.dart';
import 'package:test/test.dart';

void main() async {
  await initPolymer();
  // Define your tests/groups here.
}

You will also need to define a custom html file for your test (see the README for the test package for more information on this).

Note: If you are using the new test package, it is important that you add the test transformer after the polymer transformer, so it should look roughly like this:

transformer:
- polymer:
    entry_points:
    - test/my_test.html
- test/pub_serve:
    $include: test/**_test{.*,}.dart
