Please note that the version range is the same, as the API has not changed. You should not mix Bower and npm versions in the same application, though. Unlike the official Polymer Elements, the converted Polymer 3 compatible Vaadin components are only published on npm, not pushed to GitHub repositories. ### Polymer 2 and HTML Imports compatible version Install `vaadin-app-layout`: ```sh bower i vaadin/vaadin-app-layout --save ``` Once installed, import it in your application: ```html ``` ### Polymer 3 and ES Modules compatible version Install `vaadin-app-layout`: ```sh npm i @vaadin/vaadin-app-layout --save ``` Once installed, import it in your application: ```js import '@vaadin/vaadin-app-layout/vaadin-app-layout.js'; ``` ## Getting Started Vaadin components use the Lumo theme by default. ## The file structure for Vaadin components - `src/vaadin-app-layout.html` Unstyled component. - `theme/lumo/vaadin-app-layout.html` Component with Lumo theme. - `vaadin-app-layout.html` Alias for theme/lumo/vaadin-app-layout.html ## Running demos and tests in browser 1.
