Ok I'm new to Polymer, after seeing the main page and Google IO 2016 video, I wanted to try it out, and right now I created a basic web application with it.
I managed to get it build and running it through the "polymer serve" command, but now that I want to release it to a production environment (I have an nginx cluster), how do I build the application to just a bunch of static website files?
I executed "polymer build" and I see the build folder and it contains 2 folders: bundled and unbundled, and inside them there are the bower_components, src and test folders as well as other stuff for running it through "polymer serve" but there's not a build/dist of build/static folder that I can copy into nginx so the application is served through it.
BTW, what I mean about a dist folder is without a readme, bower.json, test, bower_components, etc. just the pure needed HTML, CSS, JS, etc files that need to be served through nginx (or any other web server) as static file web content.
I went through the documentation but there's no details on how to do such task.
Any suggestions on how to build a static content folder for serving my polymer web app through nginx?
Thanks!
As of Polymer-CLI v0.11.0, there's no built-in way to filter out files from the bundle, but it's a requested feature. Also, the build output currently includes extraneous files (a bug), such as the test directory.
As an alternative, you could use Polymer Starter Kit 1.3.0, whose dist folder doesn't include the extra files (although it does include required bower_components as-is).
