Use Bower for dependency management

[passy]

All apps should use bower for dependency management if this is possible and does not interfere with the framework's best practices or their own dependency management.

In particular, every app should have a component.json on the root level and should link to the components/ directory from the index.html. The components/ directory should only contain the needed files, so we don't bloat the repository unnecessarily.

Why bower? What if the workflow uses component(1)?

I made a few updates to the spec. Feel free to make adjustments. I also added a task to update the template.

[passy]

Not ticking CanJS off the list yet, since two of the plugins aren't available as components yet.

[rikkert]

Would like to convert the Sammy.js app.
Started work at rikkert/todomvc

[passy]

@rikkert Awesome. Go for it! :)

[sindresorhus]

@passy if they use valid semver git tags you can just register them yourself.

bower register name giturl

I did that for a few libs.

[passy]

@sindresorhus I created a repository for the localstorage plugin myself, because I couldn't find a canonical source for that. Looks like it was more like a snippet being copied around all the time. The mustache plugin, however, is part of the official repository but not distributed with their bower package. I'm going to open an issue for that.

For reference: canjs/canjs#252

If it would help to ask the community for more help with the conversion effort I'm happy to post about it.

[passy]

@addyosmani That could certainly help.

I tried converting the ember+require app today, but it's still using Ember 0.9.8.1 in a custom build with the router integrated which isn't available on bower. I think the time would be better spent porting it to 1.0rc2 instead of pushing the old releases on bower.

I'm going to give the Sammy.js example a shot. The style appears to be out of date, and the sammy.js library file itself is a couple versions behind. Is it worth the effort of re-styling and upgrading as well?

[passy]

@rikkert Did you make any progress on the sammy.js port?

[addyosmani]

' I think the time would be better spent porting it to 1.0rc2 instead of pushing the old releases on bower' agreed!

[stephenplusplus]

@passy I can't believe I missed that @rikkert already claimed it. I definitely remember reading his post, I guess the Sammy.js part didn't stick.

[rikkert]

Yes, I'm still working at it.
Already moved to the latest version in bower.
Should be done pretty soon.

They're all using Bower now 👍

[passy]

Yay, closing! 🍸

[addyosmani]

Well done everyone!

[sindresorhus]

@addyosmani we should do the G+ post about it now. Did we have a draft doc?

[addyosmani]

I don't think we did but I agree. Let's put something together next week!
