kanso-bower's Introduction

bower kanso module

module to integrate bower and compile components into the frontend of a couchapp.

Install

Add "kanso-bower" to your kanso.json dependencies setting:

"dependencies": {
	"kanso-bower": null
}

Run kanso install to install into your packages directory:

kanso install

Usage

You can use a component.json beside your kanso.json, but you can also integrate the contents of component.json into your kanso.json file.

{
	"bower":{
		"install": false,
		"minify": true,
		"deployment": "frontend/libs",
		"dependencies": {
			"angular": "~1.0.5",
			"angular-resource": "http://code.angularjs.org/1.0.5/angular-resource.js",
			"jquery": "~1.8.3",
			"jquery.couch": "https://raw.github.com/apache/couchdb/master/share/www/script/jquery.couch.js",
			"bootstrap": "~2.3.1"
		}
	}
}

Options

install: should the bower components be deployed with every push? this option is used until there is a way to use command line parameters with kanso packages ( see issue #391 )
minify: if true uses uglify to minify all components into a single compressed file with the suffix ".min.js". If false the components are just concentrated and saved with the suffix ".js".
deployment: path where the deployed compressed or concentrated components should be deployed. Folder relative to kanso.json.
dependencies: Object compatible to the bower component.json with the needed components and versions (or if single script files with the key-value of name and url)

kanso-bower's Issues

kanso-bower has undeclared dependence on kanso 'properties' package

Hi, nice package, and a necessary on given the paucity of up-to-date front-end libraries in the kanso package repo.

So, I was test driving kanso-bower by adding it to the simplest possible app example kanso.json as:

 {
     "name": "example",
     "version": "0.0.1",
     "description": "The simplest possible app with d3.js from bower",
     "attachments": ["index.html"],
     "dependencies": {
         "attachments": null,
         "kanso-bower": null
     },
    "bower":{
        "install": true,
        "minify": true,
        "deployment": "libs",
        "dependencies": {
            "d3": "~3.3.1"
        }
    }
 }

Running kanso install and kanso push http://localhost:5984/example on this results in the following error:

 /Users/user/kanso_test2/packages/kanso-bower/node_modules/bower/node_modules/tmp/lib/tmp.js:219
     throw err;
           ^

     at Array.forEach (native)

Inspection of the running build_steps.js process in kanso led me to discover that the undefined above was stemming from an attempt to use the properties package, which isn't present.

Sure enough, adding "properties": null to the kanso.json dependencies list solved the problem. So it appears as though kanso-bower really does need the properties package, but doesn't declare it in its own (currently empty) kanso.json dependencies list.

Thanks again for this truly useful package, I'm glad I didn't give up on it upon hitting a stack trace dump on my initial trivial test case!
