dvcn v1.0.0

Dependency version change notify (dvcn)

A small utility which notifies if there has been a change in the dependencies of the project ( bower and npm).

1. A new dependency added in the latest commit in the project.
2. The version of an existing dependency has been changed.
3. Any existing dependency removed

Obsolete dependencies cause errors in the project. So instead of debugging the issue at the wrong end, developers have to be notified to take a "bower update" or "npm update".

Installation

// depending on your task runner
bower install dvcn  
npm install dvcn

Usage

In your build , check before starting dev server :

        var dvcn = require('dvcn');
        var hasChanged = dvcn({
            bower : true,
            package : false
        });
        if(hasChanged.bower) {
            console.error("Run bower update")
        } 
        if(hasChanged.package) {
            console.error("Run npm update")
        }  
 

Directory structure for your project:

Home | : package.json : bower.json : node_modules : src

(i.e. package.json and bower.json are the root of the project. )
