Manage Bower Packages: package dependencies not listed #993

Open scottaddie opened 7 years ago

scottaddie commented 7 years ago

The Manage NuGet Packages dialog does a great job of displaying each package's dependencies:

nuget_deps

Unfortunately, the Manage Bower Packages dialog doesn't display this section. In general, I'd like to see more feature parity between the 2 dialogs, but that's a different topic.

Consider the following bower.json file for jquery-validation-unobtrusive: https://github.com/aspnet/jquery-validation-unobtrusive/blob/8b1a0d61dec6d884956901ec8a187f5ba74cde3b/bower.json#L32-L35. The information to support the proposed "Dependencies" section in the Manage Bower Packages dialog is present, so it should be displayed. This will help explain to users why the dependency tree looks the way it does in Solution Explorer:

jquery_val_unob_tree
