Tool to generate Dart APIs for polymer custom elements written in Javascript

Custom Elements APIGen

This package contains a tool that lets you wrap custom elements written with polymer.js and provide a Dart API for them.

The tool assumes that the JavaScript code was packaged using bower and follows bower packages conventions.

To use it, you need to:

• Install node/npm.

• Globally install bower and hydrolysis npm packages using npm install -g <package>.

• configure bower to put the packages under lib/src/ instead of the default bower_components. For exmaple, with a .bowerrc file as follows:

  {
    "directory": "lib/src"
  }
  

• setup your bower.json file

• install packages via bower install

• (one time) create a configuration file for this tool

• run the tool via pub run custom_element_apigen:update configfile.yaml

There is not much documentation written for this tool. You can find examples of how this tool is used in the polymer_elements package.
