bower support for amd

[tjaartvdwalt]

Hi,

I would like to pull in the backbone-validation using Bower.

I am also using require.js so ideally I would like to pull in the AMD version, but the current bower config uses the non-AMD version.

I am not a Bower expert, but is it possible to add a second package, (maybe called backbone-validation-amd) for a single repo?

Hey @tjaartvdwalt.

Actually, there is no need to create a second package—all is needed is compile backbone.validation to output in the AMD-way and serve either AMD and CommonJS through the same package via Bower or npm.

By the way, did you see that we already have an AMD file?

Hi @chiefGui, Thanks for the reply.

Yes I saw the AMD file. For now I manually include it in my project, so I have no blocking issue. In a perfect world I would want to manage all dependencies with Bower though :)

Hi @chiefGui and @tjaartvdwalt ,

Is there any plan on adding this to the bower.json file? (meaning the possibility of getting either amd or non amd)
