Re: [polymer-dev] Chrome packaged app with Polymer & Bower

[Rob Dodson]

I forked a different example to make this: https://github.com/robdodson/polymerchromeapp

I just added a bower.json, installed all the dependencies, and checked them into the project. To my knowledge, there's no automatic way to make bower run when a user installs your app, so you'll need to manage that process yourself. I think the easiest way to manage things is to just run `bower update` whenever you want to do a new release of your project.

Rob, we should get one of these in the FAQ. Chrome apps and CSP come up a lot.

this could be a good candidate. it's just our tutorial turned into a packaged app. I think the only nagging issue is we may need to include Roboto's font files so we don't have to jump through CSP hoops with XHR to load the font from google fonts. I got it working but it's annoying and would be easier to just have the font there

[Eric Bidelman]

Should we make our own tutorial runnable as a Chrome app? Stick in a manifest.json and any required resources.

Maybe the final step of the tutorial should be teaching people vulcanization? We get asked about this a lot and putting it up front might make it more discoverable.

Might be handy to set up a yeoman scaffold for it, too

Here's my updated version:
https://github.com/robdodson/polymerchromeapp

I added a Gruntfile to make re-running vulcanize easier (that's a common complaint that I've heard). Though that may be overkill if we want to make this the last step of the tutorial. I'm fine taking it out if we decide it's unnecessary.
