Example

To implement iron-collapse element, navigate to your project folder in the command prompt and use the following commands −

bower install PolymerElements/iron-collapse --save
bower install PolymerElements/paper-toggle-button --save

The above command installs both the elements in bower_components folder. Then you have to import both the files in your index.html file as shown below −

<link rel = "import" href = "iron-collapse/iron-collapse.html">
<link rel = "import" href = "paper-toggle-button/paper-toggle-button.html">

      <link rel = "import" href = "paper-toggle-button/paper-toggle-button.html">
      <link rel = "import" href = "iron-collapse/iron-collapse.html">

      <style>
         #coll {
            display: flex;
            width: 500px;
         }
         demo-collapse{
