Bower Extension

[jescalan]

This kind of extension would expose a view helper to include bower plugins, ignore all the other junk in the bower folders, etc. I can't say I will likely get to this soon since I don't use bower but hopefully someone will!

Brunch.io does a great job with this, there may be some library or module that could be borrowed or studied as an example. I can't help with this right now but this would be my first suggestion.

Cool, thank you! I'll check it out. Apologies that this was not prioritized, I just personally dislike bower and don't ever use it, so it hasn't been a priority to implement so far. I will eventually though, promise!

I think brunch uses this: https:/paulmillr/read-components

This isn't the extension, but @hhsnopek just helped me get a sample roots-bower setup going:

The biggest issue was trying to get rid of the bower_components folder in public/

https://www.npmjs.com/package/bower-installer This might be helpful too

Thanks @hhsnopek! I'm really sorry I just don't have time to work on this now, but I'm sure someone will be able to pull an extension together. It shouldn't be too tough, hopefully!

@Jenius if not bower, what else do you use?

[jescalan]

@FranzSkuffka usually npm. if not on npm, then direct or through a cdn. there are many options 😀

Fwiw, I rescind my +1. Npm does everything I need now.
