Online Vulcanizer and a CDN

[jerzyg...@gmail.com]

Hello!

I am making a simple web app using Polymer elements, but I don't want to mess with Git, Node, NPM, Bower and download all dependencies. Instead, I would like to develop my app using an online IDE and include all the Polymer elements just like I include JS scripts - from a CDN. However, requesting many HTML Imports from a CDN can hurt performance, so I am proposing an online Vulcanize service, which would concatenate, compress and cache multiple Polymer elements at once. So instead of writing e.g.:

<link rel="import" href="http://example.cdn/polymer/polymer.html">

<link rel="import" href="http://example.cdn/core-ajax/core-ajax.html">

<link rel="import" href="http://example.cdn/core-icons/core-icons.html">

I could make a single request, e.g.:

<link rel="import" href="http://example.cdn/vulcanize?polymer,core-ajax,core-icons">

Would it happen?

Thanks,

Jerzy

I don't think it's something the Polymer team will be able to work on in the near future. Having said that, it could be a cool open source project if anyone wants to undertake it.

Thanks for the reply. If this Vulcanizer web service was built, do you know any fast CDN which would host it for free?

Maybe http://www.fastly.com/ ?  But I don't know for sure. I'm not personally familiar with any of the folks who run CDNs
