manifest required? #446

Closed markreg closed 9 years ago

markreg commented 9 years ago

Is a component.json manifest required? I was under the impression that duo can resolve dependencies automatically.

dominicbarnes commented 9 years ago

You don't need a manifest at all to use duo. Simply adding your dependencies as require('{owner}/{project}'); is sufficient. Additional semantics include:

require('{owner}/{project}@{version}'); specify a specific branch/tag/sha to use
require('{owner}/{project}:{path}'); specify an alternative to index.js as your module's entry point
(you can also combine these 2: require('{owner}/{project}@{version}:{path}');)

The duojs.com website seems to imply that a manifest is required for public components: To create your own public component, just add a component.json to your repository Maybe it should be removed?
