## <iron-doc-viewer>
A collection of elements that display documentation about custom elements,
mixins, classes, and more using the JSON descriptor format produced by [Polymer
Analyzer](https://github.com/Polymer/polymer-analyzer).
See:
[Documentation](https://www.webcomponents.org/element/@polymer/iron-doc-viewer),
[Demo](https://www.webcomponents.org/element/@polymer/iron-doc-viewer/demo/demo/index.html).

## Usage
### Installation
```
npm install --save @polymer/iron-doc-viewer
```
### In an html file
```html
```
### In a Polymer 3 element
```js
import {PolymerElement, html} from '@polymer/polymer';
import '@polymer/iron-doc-viewer/iron-doc-viewer.js';
class SampleElement extends PolymerElement {
static get template() {
return html`
`;
},
static get properties() {
return {
descriptor: {
type: Object,
value: {
// Analyzer descriptor goes here.
}
}
};
}
}
customElements.define('sample-element', SampleElement);
```
### Routing
`` 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:
```html
```
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. | `{}`
