Show how to use npm-asset with composer

[cherifGsoul]

for Asset processing with Grunt I think is better to show how to use npm-asset or bower-asset of fxp/composer-asset-plugin to to encourage users to use yii2 workflow

[samdark]

Probably but usage of bower/npm packages via fxp is in the official guide already...

[cherifGsoul]

Oh I missed that in the guide 👍

[cherifGsoul]

Seems that the fxp/composer-asset-plugin dosent handle dependencies automaticaly this issue might be useless

[samdark]

What do you mean by doesn't handle dependencies? It does.

I will check it again, because composer require npm-asset/gulp throws errors:

@cherifGsoul This issue can not be solved with fxp & composer, without tweaking your config, see fxpio/composer-asset-plugin#307 (comment) for details.

The underlying issue is that npm can handle multiple versions, but composer can't. You can work around this limitation, but it's going to be hard when you have a lot of assets in your app.
