Polymer 3.x Google Maps Codelab

See https://comcastsamples.github.io/polymer-maps/ for codelab instructions.

The original instructions are for Polymer 1.x and require the use of Chrome Dev Editor to download & run the project. If you want to use a more recent version of Polymer and prefer to work with your own IDE, this is for you.

Running the codelab without Chrome Dev Editor

If you're not using CDE, you'll need to install some command-line tools to manage dependencies and to run the demo.

1. Download and install Node from https://nodejs.org/. Node includes the node package manager command, npm.

2. Install polymer-cli globally:

   npm install -g polymer-cli
   

3. Clone this repo:

   https://github.com/ComcastSamples/polymer-maps.git
   

4. Change directory to your local repo and install dependencies with npm:

   cd polymer-maps
   npm install
   

5. To preview your app, run polymer serve from the repo directory:

   polymer serve
   

   Open http://localhost:8081 in your browser

If you're wondering what polymer serve does, see Polymer CLI Commands in the Polymer docs.
