global element

[johnstonmatt]

How should I go about including one instance of an element on all of my pages? Including it in the index (with app router) does not work (page does not load), and including it in the layout makes multiple instances.

My issue was related to having an improper element definition. It looked like this:

 <polymer-element name="my-element">

     <template class="breaksstuff">

         <template></template>

         <script>
          Polymer({});
         </script>

    </template>

</polymer-element>

Good to hear you figured it out. Polymer also has some documentation on creating a singleton-like element https://www.polymer-project.org/docs/polymer/polymer.html#global.

thank you for the tip, and for the great library! If there is a core-router on the way I hope its similar.
