lineman-bower v0.0.5
lineman-bower
This is a plugin to make it easy to use Bower in conjunction with a Lineman app.
Usage
First, add the plugin to your lineman project:
$ npm install lineman-bower --save-dev
When you install lineman-bower, it should create a default .bowerrc
(unless one already exists) with the following
vendor directory. Feel free to customize this directory to a different location if you like.
{
"directory": "/vendor/bower"
}
Third, you'll want to make sure that your bower dependencies don't get checked
into git, so add them to your .gitignore
:
/vendor/bower
Next, you'll need a bower.json
to start pulling down dependencies. This can be completed by executing bower init
from the command prompt:
{
"name": "my-app",
"version": "0.0.1",
"dependencies": {
"jquery": "~1.9.0"
}
}
Finally, you'll want to make sure that jquery is made available when Lineman
concatenates your vendor JavaScript libraries. You can do this by extending the
js.vendor
configuration in config/files.js
like so:
module.exports = require(process.env["LINEMAN_MAIN"]).config.extend("files", {
js: {
vendor: [
"vendor/bower/jquery/jquery.js",
"vendor/js/**/*.js" //Note that this glob remains for traditional vendor libs
]
}
});
Now, when you run lineman run
and visit localhost:8000,
you should see Bower install jQuery and have access to the library on the page.
