Lenses web components are built using the Polymer library. The project allows developers to retrieve, manipulate and visualize data by chaining these components together.
generator-lenses provides Lenses component scaffolding using Yeoman (a scaffolding tool for the web), letting you easily create and customize Lenses (custom) elements via the command-line and import them using HTML Imports. This saves you time writing boilerplate code so you can start writing up the logic to your components straight away.
- Sub-generator to create Lenses elements for your app
- Quick deploy to GitHub pages
Install the generator
npm install -g generator-lenses
Make a new directory and cd into it
mkdir -p my-project && cd $_
Generate a new Lenses component:
yo lenses:seed [element-name]
Available generators:
Generates the Lens Composer and the components that can be used with Lenses. Coming soon.
Generates a reusable Lenses element.
The seed-element generator will construct a new element and its directory for you. Be aware: all bower dependencies will be installed as siblings of the newly generated element. Make sure that you generate the seed element within a directory that is intended to contain multiple components!
Example:
mkdir -p components && cd $_
yo lenses:seed my-elementGenerates a Github pages branch for your seed-element.
Example:
cd components/my-element
yo lenses:ghSee the contributing docs
