Use Share With Me on Chrome Dev Editor

If you are using a Chromebook, one of the few IDE you can use is Chrome Dev Editor.

To use the Share With Me you have to download the latest release in the light flavor (the additional tools can't be used from CDE).

After downloading the polymer-starter-kit-light-*.zip file unpack it in a new folder (for Example psk-light) you should have a directory structure like

psk-light-folder-p1

Before opening the folder inside CDE, we need to move the file bower.json to app/bower.json, this way running Bower Update from CDE's menu, will place the updated packages in app/bower_components

bower json-post

We can now Open Folder... inside CDE and start renaming the file app/manifest.json to app/web-app-manifest.json, followed by updating the link to it in the file app/index.html

manifest json

This change is needed because manifest.json is interpreted by CDE as a Chrome Apps Manifest and the web app manifest is slightly different

Open app/elements/routing.html and add the following code after the last route:

page('*', function () {
  app.route = 'home';
});

After the change, the code will look like the following:

...
page('/contact', function () {
  app.route = 'contact';
});

page('*', function () {
  app.route = 'home';
});

// add #! before urls
page({
  hashbang: true
});
...

Select app/index.html and hit run (or press CTRL+R) to see the application running in the browser.
