analyzer.analyze(['my-element.html']).then((analysis) => {
  // Print the name of every property on paper-button, and where it was
  // inherited from.
  const [paperButton] = analysis.getFeatures(
      {kind: 'element', id: 'paper-button', externalPackages: true});
  if (paperButton) {
    for (const [name, property] of paperButton.properties) {
      let message = `${name}`;
      if (property.inheritedFrom) {
        message += ` inherited from ${property.inheritedFrom}`;
      } else {
