polydev is the Polymer DevTools Extension - a tool to help develop Polymer and custom elements.
The release version of polydev is available on the Chrome Web Store:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/polymer-devtools-extensio/mmpfaamodhhlbadloaibpocmcomledcg
polydev must be built before running. The build step externalizes inline scripts for CSP compliance, and copies some dependencies into convenient locations.
To build, run npm run build:
> npm run build The built project is available at build/polydev.
- Create a new Chrome profile
- Navigate to chrome://extensions
- Check the "Developer mode" checkbox
- Click "Load unpacked extension..."
- Choose
/polydev/build/polydev
When changing files in src/ the dev workflow should work cover most use cases.
> npm run dev Depending on the change you can either then close and reopen the devtools, or if you've made a change to the content-script or to element-zones, you must reload both the extension and any page you're testing it on.
