Polymer POC Environment

This is an basic containerized development setup consisting of:

• Traefik (Modern HTTP reverse proxy)
• Node.js (Javascript runtime)
• ExpressJS (Server-side Node.js framework)
• Helmet (help secure Express/Connect apps with various HTTP headers)
• Polymer (Unlock the Power of Web Components)
• Redux (Predictable state container for JavaScript apps)
• Redux-Saga (An alternative side effect model for Redux apps)
• Docker (Build, Ship, and Run Any App, Anywhere)

The setup is currently divided into 4 servers:

One Traefik Reverse Proxy and three Node.js servers for:

• hosting polymer test pages
• serving the bower_components
• providing a simple rest api

Setting up the development environment:

The following steps are written with a MAC in mind so if this doesn't work on your machine, feel free to extend the readme with some steps for setting it up on a different environment.

• Install docker:
  • Go to: docker.com
  • Download the installer and run it
• Check if git is installed:
  • $> git --version
  • if not install: git

Starting the project:

• Clone the repository: $> git clone https://github.com/gvand/polymer-test.git
• Change to the project root directory: $> cd polymer-test
• Run the project with docker: $> docker-compose up
• open http://webpack.docker.localhost/
