We use NuGet and Bower both and it has worked well for us so far. We are slowly moving the front-end libraries to Bower. You will have to create a Nuget package to use it from Nuget to install.
You should never modify the contents of the bower_components folder. We’ll make sure to make that clearer. As for your question. Copy the _variables.scss file from the bower_components folder to eg. app/styles, then import it into your main.scss, or whatever it’s named, above the import statement for bootstrap. This will result in your custom file … Read more
When you use font-awesome via bower it does not include the CSS when you build it. Try using: bower install components-font-awesome –save It should work just fine.
Ok!!! I found the problem… this is so stupid it made me laugh (even if i lost my night on this) It seems that there’s another software called “node” (Amateur Packet Radio Node program). I removed that software with sudo apt-get remove node, reinstalled nodeJS, then sudo npm install bower -g et voila!!! So it … Read more
Using the –save and –save-dev flags when installing will add them to the project’s package.json. This allows anyone who might develop on or use the project to install the dependencies as needed with a simple npm install command. By contrast, the -g flag is global only to your local machine.
You need root access or permissions to install globally! Try : sudo npm install -g bower
You are installing a wrong package from bower. The correct one to install is bower install angular-bootstrap as described here: https://github.com/angular-ui/bootstrap#installation Edit: As of February 2015, a Bower version of the library exists at https://github.com/angular-ui/bootstrap-bower. Unfortunately, it presently only contains AngularUI Bootstrap 0.12.0 which, as far as I can tell, isn’t fully compatible with Angular … Read more
Installing locally makes bower available to the current project (where it stores all of the node modules in node_modules). This is usually only good for using a module like so var module = require(‘module’); It will not be available as a command that the shell can resolve until you install it globally npm install -g … Read more
As it is written in the documentation, you can specify the package in form of a remote Git endpoint: “dependencies”: { “some-package”: “git://github.com/someone/some-package.git” } Since GitHub is usually used, there is a shortcut for this (unless specified otherwise): “dependencies”: { “some-package”: “someone/some-package” } This will download the newest version of the package. To make sure … Read more
In Sails 0.10 the ‘assets/linker’ directory no longer exists, however I found a lead on simple solution that gives some automation to the bower -> asset linker workflow while also allowing some granular control over what exactly ends up getting linked. The solution is adding grunt-bower to your Sails.js compileAssets task grunt.registerTask(‘compileAssets’, [ ‘clean:dev’, ‘bower:dev’, … Read more
