Polymer CLI is a command-line interface used in Polymer projects. It includes a build pipeline, a boilerplate generator for creating elements and apps, a linter, a development server, and a test runner.
Polymer CLI works with two types of projects:
Elements projects: In an element project, a single element or group of related elements are used in other element or app projects, or distributed on a registry like Bower or NPM. Elements are reusable and organized to be used alongside other elements, so components are referenced outside the project.
Application projects: In an app project, an application is built which contains polymer elements and deployed as a website. Applications are self-contained, organized with components inside the application.
