Where to download all polymer elements as zip file?

Question

Polymer 1.0 is released recently and I can download the elements à la carte at the elements.polymer-project.org site, but I can't find an easy link to download everything in one big zip file?

Any idea where they are hiding it?

Answer 1

You can download the Polymer Starter Kit for beginners that includes almost all the elements.

And download the missing elements as a ZIP file as suggested here.

Missing elements:

If you are using bower run these commands:

bower install --save PolymerElements/iron-elements  
bower install --save PolymerElements/paper-elements  
bower install --save PolymerElements/gold-elements  
bower install --save PolymerElements/neon-elements  
bower install --save PolymerElements/platinum-elements  
bower install --save GoogleWebComponents/google-web-components
bower install --save PolymerElements/app-elements

also works for app elements: bower install --save PolymerElements/app-elements – Letsou

Answer 3

You can download a set of components as a ZIP file as suggested here.

Follow these steps to download all of the current catalog elements as a single ZIP file:

1. Browse to https://elements.polymer-project.org/browse
2. Click the ☆ next to each element you wish to download.
   • The ☆ will be filled (★) when selected.
   • All of the elements dependencies will be included in the ZIP file.
   • You can select all the elements if desired.
3. Click on the at the top of the page.
4. Select the Download tab.
5. Select the elements folder radio button.
6. Click the Download button.

Note: Keep in mind that if you choose this method (ZIP file) you will have to manage dependency updates on your own. It is recommended that you use bower instead.

Great job, thanks. Does license allow posting the result zip? maybe we can post a link to it here – Ginkgo

You can take a look at the LICENSE.txt in the polymer folder of the download. It does look like redistribution is ok. I would suggest looking for any licenses with the individual elements as well. That said, I would really not recommend doing this. Almost as soon as the ZIP file was posted it would be out of date. As mentioned in my answer bower is the recommended way to grab these elements. Using bower has a lot of advantages over ZIP files. – Violation

Seems like if if you select too many, the download tab disappears. I removed all but a few and it became visible again. – Daddy

@JoeLove A lot has changed in two years and this was never the recommended way of using polymer. – Violation

@Violation I believe that, it's just annoying that to even try polymer elements you have to download about ~6 gig of stuff on a mac to serve up a few K of javascript files. All I wanted was a "sandbox" to see if polymer is even something we want to pursue. – Hilarity

Dead link. elements.polymer-project.org/browse returns 404 (not found). Should use Bower or Yarn as the dependency manager. – Dogcart
