Usage

Installation

npm install --save @polymer/iron-doc-viewer

In an html file

<html>
  <head>
    <script type="module">
      import '@polymer/polymer/lib/elements/dom-bind.js';
      import '@polymer/iron-ajax/iron-ajax.js';
      import '@polymer/iron-doc-viewer/iron-doc-viewer.js';
    </script>
  </head>

  <body>
    <dom-bind>
      <template>
        <iron-ajax
          auto
          url="./analysis.json"
          last-response="{{descriptor}}">
        </iron-ajax>

        <iron-doc-viewer
          descriptor="[[descriptor]]"
          root-namespace="MyNamespace">
        </iron-doc-viewer>
      </template>
    </dom-bind>
  </body>
</html>

In a Polymer 3 element

import {PolymerElement, html} from '@polymer/polymer';
import '@polymer/iron-doc-viewer/iron-doc-viewer.js';

class SampleElement extends PolymerElement {
  static get template() {
    return html`
      <iron-doc-viewer
        descriptor="[[descriptor]]"
        root-namespace="MyNamespace">
      </iron-doc-viewer>
    `;
  },

  static get properties() {
    return {
      descriptor: {
        type: Object,
        value: {
          // Analyzer descriptor goes here.
        }
      }
    };
  }
}

customElements.define('sample-element', SampleElement);

Routing

<iron-doc-viewer> handles URL routing to provide permanent addresses for all locations in the documentation tree, including scroll anchor targets.

By default it uses the URL fragment for routing (e.g. docs.html#/elements/my-element#property-foo), in order to support simple static file hosts.

To use the real URL path for routing, set the base-href property to the server mount point, omitting the trailing slash (e.g. /api/docs or empty string for the root path). Note that this requires a host that serves the application from all paths that should be handled by the doc viewer.

Styling

The iron-doc elements come with an optional material-design default theme that must be explicitly included as custom style:

<script type="module">
  import '@polymer/iron-doc-viewer/default-theme.js';
</script>

<custom-style>
  <style is="custom-style" include="iron-doc-default-theme"></style>
</custom-style>

The following custom properties and mixins are available for styling:

Custom property	Description	Default
`--iron-doc-accent-color`	Color for emphasis (e.g. hyperlink hover).	`#1565c0`
`--iron-doc-font-body`	Mixin applied to non-code text.	`{}`
`--iron-doc-font-code`	Mixin applied to code snippets.	`{}`
`--iron-doc-title`	Mixin applied to page titles.	`{}`
`--iron-doc-heading`	Mixin applied to section headings.	`{}`
