bowdler
bower as you bundle, no bs.
Requirements
How
Install:
gem install 'bowdler'
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
# Gemfile
source 'https://rubygems.org'
require 'bowdler'
Create a Bowerfile
alongside your Gemfile
:
# Bowerfile
asset 'backbone', '0.9'
# ...
And your done. Do a bundle install
:
Using rake (10.1.0)
Using bundler (1.3.5)
bower backbone#0.9 cached git://github.com/jashkenas/backbone.git#0.9.10
bower backbone#0.9 validate 0.9.10 against git://github.com/jashkenas/backbone.git#0.9
bower backbone#0.9 install backbone#0.9.10
backbone#0.9.10 bower_components/backbone
bower check-new Checking for new versions of the project dependencies..
dsl-generated dependencies /home/lite/work/bundler-bower/spec/dummy/vendor/assets
├── backbone#0.9.10 (latest is 1.1.0)
Your bundle is complete!
Use `bundle show [gemname]` to see where a bundled gem is installed.
Execute bundle
or bundle install
, bowdler will execute bower install
. Executing bundle update
, bowdler will execute bower update
.
After that, check for your bower assets on vendor
. You can change the default directory with the assets_path
method, like this:
# Bowerfile
assets_path 'source/vendor' # usefull along with Middleman gem
asset 'backbone', '0.9'
# ...
Ommit the version and stay fresh with the latest releases.
# Bowerfile
assets_path 'source/vendor'
asset 'jquery'
asset 'backbone'
# ...
Credits
Initially, this was supposed to be a bundler-bower fork, but it was so complex to simplify it (like when using it with (Middleman)[http://middlemanapp.com]), that I've ended up stripping out most of the code, modding some parts and packing everything on a separate gem.
There's also some pieces of code taken from bower-rails.
