bower integration

[foxreymann]

As a developer I would like to install ChartNew.js using bower package manager.

No problem, but I have no experience in things like this. I suppose that I have to create a file with specific informations.

Can you send (to my mail address) a clear description of what I have to do ?

Thanks, François

@FVANCOP I'd also like to see this on bower. It's fairly similar to npm which I see you've already done :)

Here's an example to get you started - bower.json

{
  "name": "x",
  "version": "x",
  "description": "",
  "homepage": "github link",
  "author": "",
  "main": [
     "ChartNew.js"   <-- note this is the entry point of the app
  ],
  "dependencies": {
    "chartjs": ">= 1.0.1-beta.4"   <-- or whatever version this depends on
  },
  "keywords": [
     ....
  ]
}

You can look here for how to register the package with Bower - https://bower.io/docs/creating-packages/

Hi,

Following bower.json file has been created :

   {
     "name": "ChartNew.js",
     "version": "0.3.0",
     "description": "Simple HTML5 Charts using the canvas element",
     "keywords": ["charts"],
     "homepage": "https://github.com/FVANCOP/ChartNew.js",
     "author": "FVANCOP",
     "license": "MIT",
     "main": ["ChartNew.js"],
     "dependencies": {
     }
   }

Registration has been performed, but not sure it is 100% correct. Can you try ?

   D:\Mes Programmes\HTML\KB>bower register ChartNew.js git://github.com/FVANCOP/ChartNew.js
   bower resolve       git://github.com/FVANCOP/ChartNew.js.git#*
   bower checkout      ChartNew.js#master
   bower invalid-meta  The "name" is recommended to be lowercase, can contain digits, dots, dashes
   bower resolved      git://github.com/FVANCOP/ChartNew.js.git#03d40808c5
   ? Registering a package will make it installable via the registry (https://bower.herokuapp.com), continue? Yes
   bower register      git://github.com/FVANCOP/ChartNew.js
   Package ChartNew.js registered successfully!
   All valid semver tags on git://github.com/FVANCOP/ChartNew.js will be available as versions.
   To publish a new version, just release a valid semver tag.

   Run bower info ChartNew.js to list the available versions.

   D:\Mes Programmes\HTML\KB>bower info ChartNew.js
   bower not-cached    https://github.com/FVANCOP/ChartNew.js.git#*
   bower resolve       https://github.com/FVANCOP/ChartNew.js.git#*
   bower checkout      ChartNew.js#master
   bower invalid-meta  The "name" is recommended to be lowercase, can contain digits, dots, dashes
   bower resolved      https://github.com/FVANCOP/ChartNew.js.git#03d40808c5

   {
     name: 'ChartNew.js',
     description: 'Simple HTML5 Charts using the canvas element',
     keywords: [
       'charts'
     ],
     homepage: 'https://github.com/FVANCOP/ChartNew.js',
     author: 'FVANCOP',
     license: 'MIT',
     main: [
       'ChartNew.js'
     ],
     dependencies: {}
   }

   No versions available.

Unfortunately, no news....

@FVANCOP Thank you, it is working. I've finished the project long time ago so I've forgot about the issue but it is working:)
