// loads the polymer platform (not the framework though)
require('polyfill-webcomponents')
// this is safe, only loads framework if not already loaded.
// Example
// create an html template
var t = document.createElement('template')
// set content to a ul with repeating li
t.innerHTML = '<ul><template repeat="{{item in items}}"><li>{{item}}</li></template></ul>'
// template needs to have bind attribute
t.setAttribute('bind', '')
// any templates not on dom when load need bindingDelegate set explicitly
t.bindingDelegate = new PolymerExpressions()
// set template model to bind the data
// if template already in DOM, this will trigger a render
t.model = {
  items: ['Item 1', 'Item 2', 'Item 3']
}
// attach template to body to render
document.body.appendChild(t)
