How to use this?

[clapas]

Hello,

I'm trying to figure out how to use this.

I installed the rest-api package with bower and added this to my index.html:

<rest-api url="http://localhost:3000">
  <rest-api-resource name="products" collection="{{products}}"></rest-api-resource>
</rest-api>

and this to my index.js:

import 'bower_components/webcomponentsjs/webcomponents-lite'

I am using webpack to serve the app. The elements render but nothing happens, e.g. no API request, etc.

Am I missing any steps? Thanks.

@clapas Hi, thanks for trying.

This component is based on HTML Imports. Apart from the webcomponents-lite polyfill, you have to import the rest-api and rest-api-resource components as well in your index.html:

<link rel="import" href="bower_components/rest-api/rest-api.html">
<link rel="import" href="bower_components/rest-api/rest-api-resource.html">

After the successful import, it should start making API requests, e. g., to http://localhost:3000/products.

The import step is unfortunately missing in README, sorry about that.
