Register as a bower component?

[seiyria]

Hiya! I like this plugin, and I was wondering if you'd be willing to register it as a bower component?

I like it too, and I'm also behind this suggestion!

I ran the bower install and I expect all is fine except it asks what module this exposes. I answered global but I really don't know. Can someone enlighten me as to how a script that extends the global String object exposes modules?

Here is the bower.json file that was generated...

{
  "name": "string_score",
  "description": "String Scoring Algorithm packaged for NodeJS",
  "main": "string_score.js",
  "authors": [
    "Joshaven Potter <yourtech@gmail.com>"
  ],
  "license": "MIT",
  "keywords": [
    "string",
    "score",
    "string_score"
  ],
  "homepage": "https://github.com/joshaven/string_score",
  "moduleType": [
    "globals"
  ],
  "ignore": [
    "**/.*",
    "node_modules",
    "bower_components",
    "test",
    "tests"
  ]
}

Meanwhile, I smoothly installed it by doing: bower install --save 'git://github.com/joshaven/string_score.git#e85369c' e85369c being the id of the latest commit.

Installing by commit hashes is doable but not at all useful, since you can't tell what tag it is initially, so you have no idea what you're actually running, except that it's a specific commit.

The use I get out of it is knowing the whole team will have the same version.

But of course, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for getting it registered.

If someone wants to send me a pull request for the intragrations then I'd be happy to pull it. I just don't want to make untested chances and I don't know anything about the context this is being used in.

I did it running bower install string_score_ext --save.

For those who user wiredep to inject bower dependencies into index.html, add this at bower.json

"overrides": {
    "string_score_ext": {
      "main": "string_score.js"
    }
  }

I added that text to the bower.json... Please confirm that it is correct. I've never used bower so I'm just crossing my fingers hoping this file is helpful to users. Thanks. If there are problems with the file then I would greatly appreciate someone who can correct it and confirm the corrections sends me a patch or a pull request.
