I posted kinda similar problem here in StackOverFlow regarding paper-header-panel of Polymer it was answered but the solution isn't efficient or right way of doing it, you can look it here. Specific import should be made not the generic one as mentioned here.
My code for rendering it properly is the following:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title></title>
<script src="bower_components/webcomponentsjs/webcomponents-lite.min.js"></script>
<link rel="import"
href="bower_components/paper-header-panel/paper-header-panel.html">
<link rel="import"
href="bower_components/paper-toolbar/paper-toolbar.html">
<link rel="import"
href="bower_components/iron-flex-layout/iron-flex-layout.html">
<link rel="import"
href="bower_components/iron-flex-layout/classes/iron-flex-layout.html">
</head>
<body class="fullbleed layout vertical">
<!-- paper-header-panel must have an explicit height -->
<paper-header-panel class="flex">
<paper-toolbar>
<div>Header</div>
</paper-toolbar>
<div>Content</div>
</paper-header-panel>
</body>
</html>
But the problem is that this import is already been deprecated.
<link rel="import"
href="bower_components/iron-flex-layout/classes/iron-flex-layout.html">
The documentations recommended to use the new class which is.
<link rel="import"
href="bower_components/iron-flex-layout/iron-flex-layout-classes.html">
But it doesn't render properly the paper-header-panel.
What did I miss? Or what is my mistake? Any help would be deeply appreciated. Thanks!
