bower-workspace v0.1.0

Synopsis

A command line utility to ease the link-ing of local bower modules Almost completely based on and fully compatible with npm-workspace by Mario Casciaro.

Install

npm install -g bower-workspace

Configure workspace links

Create a workspace.json in your workspace dir, and create mappings module name -> module dir

{
  "links": {
    "prj2": "prj2",
    "prj3": "prj3"
  }
}

Then

To install and link everything in your workspace

cd myBowerWorkspace
bower-workspace install

To install and link only one module

cd myBowerWorkspace/prj1
bower-workspace install

To clean your workspace (remove all bower_components directories)

cd myBowerWorkspace
bower-workspace clean

Package an app for deployment

When you are ready to deploy your app, you can package all your modules for production, including all your private/local only modules. Just use these 3 options:

• -c: Copy the packages into bower_components instead of linking them
• -g: Remove .git directories from dependencies while copying. This is so you can package your production app under a new repo (e.g. for use in a PaaS)
• -p: Installs only production dependencies (ignores devDependencies)

Example

cd myNodeJsWorkspace/yourapp
bower-workspace install -cgp

Your app is now ready for deployment.
