Bower
We make websites
Lots of stuff Bootstrap Foundation normalize.css fitvid.js Modernizr d3 jQuery
Underscore / Lo-dash Backbone Angular JS Effeckt.css Masonry Font Awesome Compass H5BP jQuery UI Easing form gallery modal / popup tooltip base CSS helper JS
How do you get it? Download git clone Saved locally,
copy files
Where do you put it? lib/ lib/vendor/ assets/js/vendor, assets/css/vendor,
assets/*/vendor
How you keep track of it? Centralized server In git,
commit to repo git-submodules

Package Management
Problem Package management Solution Bower Reason Why use Bower Results
How I’ve done so far
What is Bower?
Bower A package manager for the web
What is Bower? Command-line utility Built on Node JS
Install packages bower install jquery
None
Install a version bower install jquery#1.x
None
Search packages bower search normalize
None
bower.json Manifest file Use same installation on another machine Collaboration
bower.json bower init
None
bower.json "dependencies": { "jquery": "1.x", "normalize-‐css":
"~2.1.3" }
bower install bootstrap
None
Installing dependencies Bower will install the package and its dependencies
!"# bootstrap#3.0.0 !"" jquery#2.0.3
Dependencies Powerful feature Build packages on top of one another
No longer have to depend on big frameworks
Lots of other great features --offline: Offline mode Read the
docs: bower.io
What Bower does Easily gets packages Keeps them organized Manages
dependencies
Problem Solution Reason Results Package management Bower Why use Bower
How I’ve done so far
Why Bower?
Package managers Volo git-submodules Jam Component Browserify (npm) Ender
Bower is special Unopinionated Provides no direct way to consume
packages Core part of its philosophy
Consuming packages <link />, <script /> SASS or preprocessor RequireJS
Grunt Your own build script
bower list -‐-‐paths { "bootstrap": [
"bower_components/bootstrap/dist/js/ bootstrap.js", "bower_components/bootstrap/dist/css/ bootstrap.css" ], "jquery": "bower_components/jquery/jquery.js", "normalize-‐css": "bower_components/normalize-‐ css/normalize.css" }
Unopinionated Choosing on behalf of anyone else Don’t lock your
users into a methodology
Using Bower Twitter: Flight Google: Yeoman, Angular jQuery
Problem Solution Reason Results Package management Bower Unopinionated How I’ve
done so far
Results
Isotope Masonry
Same problem with unloaded images
Masonry ! Isotope !
Masonry ! Isotope ! images Loaded images Loaded images Loaded
Masonry ! Isotope ! images Loaded images Loaded images Loaded
Maintaining one project in three places
Now with Bower No more committing other projects into yours
Keep them separated Bower allows easily add them as dependencies
Front-end development with dependencies
Developing with dependencies Removing duplicated code jquery-bridget get-size get-style-property doc-ready
eventie EventEmitter
Each dependency Its own repository Its own issue tracker Its
own tests Finer granularity over bigger projects
For example: masonry#417
masonry#417 Issue reported in Masonry Actual problem with getSize
getSize Fix cut new release (v1.1.5) Masonry bower update deploy
Masonry ! getSize Isotope ! Dragga- billy ...
Encapsulation Literal naïve definition: Make capsules Breaking down something large
into smaller pieces, easier to swallow
Encapsulation Like DRY, a principle of good programming Take and
apply it project-level
Encapsulation A new avenue of thinking No longer had to
keep mental model of entire library in my head Focus on small libraries with single purpose
Growing up Growing out of relying on monolithic frameworks Empowering
developers to make and distribute their own purpose- built components
packery-‐docs#1.0.0 $"" classie#1.0.0 $"# doc-‐ready#1.0.2 % !""
eventie#1.0.3 $"# draggabilly#1.0.6 % $"" classie#1.0.0 % $"" eventEmitter#4.2.4 % $"" eventie#1.0.3 % $"# get-‐size#1.1.4 % % !"" get-‐style-‐property#1.0.2 % !"" get-‐style-‐property#1.0.2 $"" eventie#1.0.3 $"" get-‐style-‐property#1.0.2 $"" jquery#1.10.2 $"" jquery-‐ui-‐draggable#1.10.3 $"" normalize-‐css#2.1.3 !"# packery#1.1.2
Problem Solution Reason Results Package management Bower Unopinionated Grow
How? How do you hook up Grunt tasks to Bower?
How do you split a project into multiple files? How do you make JS work with both RequireJS and <script />? How do you create concatenated source files, for easy <link />ing?
Why use Bower and not ______? Because Bower is unopinionated.
Why use Bower at all? Because building with dependencies
is how we will grow.
Thank you! I have stickers. Get in my van. –
