Doesn't work in the browser when not using require js

[NoMaillard]

@gr2m thanks for this great tool ! however, it does not work in the browser... 😢 i did `bower install moment-parse-format --save' and the console would show require is not defined.

Simple way to fix it is to put the whole thing in an iife

can you use npm to install instead of bower?

After installing with npm, you can add the built file from node_modules/moment-parseformat/dist/moment-parseformat.js.

Or if you want to install it via bower, try bower install https://npmcdn.com/moment-parseformat/dist/moment-parseformat.js

[NoMaillard]

Unfortunately, i can't use npm, we use gulp-wiredep and it can not see that the bower version is installed, and yes i have run bower with --save

Error: Error: moment-parseformat is not installed. Try running `bower install`.

[gr2m]

I’m sorry I don’t know how to work around that, I don’t know much about bower, do you have an idea? Can we somehow point bower install moment-parseformat to install from bower install https://npmcdn.com/moment-parseformat/dist/moment-parseformat.js?

[NoMaillard]

you have to run npm buildwhen you update the package, and then add a bower.json that points to dist/moment-parseformat.js

[gr2m]

Is it enough to have the bower.json and dist/moment-parseformat.js on npm only though? I do not want to commit the dist folder on github

[NoMaillard]

i don't know, but if you look at other packages (momentjs included) they all commit the dist to github. you can easily automate it with gulp

[gr2m]

yes, I know, they do it only because of bower, but it comes with overhead that I cannot add in order to be able to maintain this package, I’m sincerely sorry

[NoMaillard]

alright, thanks anyways...

[gr2m]

in your bower.json, can you set a url instead of a version? Something like this

{
  "name": "test",
  "dependencies": {
    "moment-parseformat": "https://npmcdn.com/moment-parseformat/dist/moment-parseformat.js"
  }
}

You can also set a specific version like this "https://npmcdn.com/moment-parseformat@2.1.3/dist/moment-parseformat.js"

[NoMaillard]

no i get :

moment-parseformat is not installed. Try running `bower install`.

[gr2m]

so this works for me with bower 1.5.2

1. create a bower.json with the content from by comment above
2. run bower install
3. copy the content of bower_components/moment-parseformat/index.js and paste it directly into the console on momentjs.com. moment.parseFormat is working

[NoMaillard]

yes, but i have a gulp script running that injects automatically in the index.html, and that doesn't work, i think i found a workaround though

[NoMaillard]

@gr2m my workaround didn't work, how about i submit a pull request that allows bower install? only thing you have to do more is npm run buildand bump the versions

[gr2m]

the versions get bumped automatically with semantic-release. But as I said before, I will not commit built files to GitHub. But you can do it on a fork?

[NoMaillard]

ah i see. well i would have tried, i'll work off a fork then
