如何在节点和Express App中使用来自Polymer CLI的Polymer Starter Kit？

Question

polymer starter kit provides a template to develop client-logic

polymer build creates a bundled and unbundled version.

how do i use this in a node js application using express without loosing the PRPL concepts by default the polymer starter kit provides

As the polymer server starts its own server to run the bundled version.

With nodejs & Express. Below is how i render HTML on inital load in a normal client-server application

var express = require('express');
var app = express.createServer();

app.use(express.staticProvider(__dirname + '/public'));

app.get('/', function(req, res) {
    res.render('index.html');
});

app.listen(8080, '127.0.0.1')

But for Polymer starter kit it has polymer.json file which defines lile below

{
  "entrypoint": "index.html",
  "shell": "src/my-app.html",
  "fragments": [
    "src/my-view1.html",
    "src/my-view2.html",
    "src/my-view3.html",
    "src/my-view404.html"
  ],
  "sourceGlobs": [
   "src/**/*",
   "images/**/*",
   "bower.json"
  ],
  "includeDependencies": [
    "manifest.json",
    "bower_components/webcomponentsjs/webcomponents-lite.min.js"
  ]
}

How to use Polymer starter kits generated bundled folder in a node and express app?

Answer 1

As no one Answered my question for a week, i found solution for this. Use below code in the bundled/unbundled folder in the build folder, after executing polymer build.

var express = require('express');
var app = express.createServer();

app.use(express.staticProvider(__dirname + '/public'));

app.get('/', function(req, res) {
    res.render('index.html');
});

app.listen(8080, '127.0.0.1')

Use it like a normal client-server application.
