polymer only works when launched with chrome dev editor

It's more of a question of why rather than please fix this. Polymer elements are made for websites, not just chrome apps, right? So why when I open the html file with chrome does it not work but when I run it with chrome dev editor and it opens with chrome does it work? I'd like to build a website using polymer elements, and I'm more than happy to use chrome dev editor, I just wanna know how it'll work if I try to publish.

In order to run a website or webpage that is build with Polymer you will need a server.

Chrome Dev Editor provides a local server when we try to run our code, thus it works from Chrome Dev Editor. However when you open the html file with chrome there is no server set up.

When you run using Chrome Dev Editor you can see in address bar something like this http://127.0.0.1:31999/test/test.html

However when you try opening the html file in chrome you can see in address bar something like this file:///D:/Users/test/test.html

If you don't want Chrome Dev Editor to run your code then you can have local server set up using NodeJS etc. Or use editors like Brackets - it will set up a local server and run your webpage in browser.
