bowerInstall?

[johnykov]

Hi, this an amazing plugin! I download node and does a lot for me! Thanks.

But for 100% of happiness I would need to fire "bower install" after npm install :) Do you have any example how to do that?

Thanks in advance

Thanks for your kind words. That's a valid question. I have not any examples on this at hand, but will try it for myself and report back how it goes.

I added this in my build.gradle

task bowerInstall(type:Exec){ commandLine './node_modules/bower/bin/bower', 'install' }

//process your bower.json after node deps install bowerInstall.dependsOn 'npmInstall'

and it works for now

and of course I added bower to packages.json

@hanskoff you may also want to check out the bower-install-simple grunt plugin for this: https://www.npmjs.org/package/grunt-bower-install-simple

Managing the bower stuff in your Gruntfile is arguably a better place since it minimizes the amount of stuff the gradle build needs to "know" about your grunt build and it works for devs who just run grunt too.

@hanskoff another really simple solution is to add a postinstall script to your package.json.

  "scripts": {
    "postinstall": "bower install"
  }

Make sure you have bower set as a dev dependency in package.json. And note, this won't work if this project is used as a dependency for another.

I used the solution that @dougborg proposes, installing the bower dependencies from withing grunt whith the bower-install-simple pluting.

Works perfect for me.

The only downside is how the configuration looks like, a little bit messed:

// run 'grunt bower_install'
grunt_bower_install.dependsOn 'installGrunt'
grunt_bower_install.dependsOn 'npmInstall'
grunt_default.dependsOn grunt_bower_install

// runs "grunt default" as part of your gradle build
build.dependsOn grunt_default
