Polymer 1.1 Cheat Sheet by Pawel

// Register element 'my-element' and return constructor
var elementConstr = Polymer({is: 'my-element'})

// Register element 'my-element' with factory implementation
var elementConstr = Polymer(
{ is: 'my-element',
  factoryImpl: function (v1, v2) {
    this.v1 = v1;
    this.v2 = v2
}});

// Create element
var myElement = new elementConstr();
OR
var myElement = document.createElement('my-element');

Create element with factory implementation
var myElement = new elementConstr(1, 2);

// Extend existing input element
var myElement = Polymer({
   is: 'my-input',
   extends: 'input'
});
