v0.17 Can't seem to force jQuery to load before Angular

[dasch88]

I've recently upgraded my code base from jspm v0.16.x to v0.17. I've been able to work out all the kinks so far with one exception. One of the plugins that I use requires that jQuery is used within Angular...and thus I need to make sure jQuery loads first.

I tried adding metadata to indicate that Angular had a dependency on jQuery, but had a terrible time getting this new version to respect it. I've tried:

1. Specifically adding it to the overrides section of package.json and running jspm install: "npm:angular@1.5.8": { "format": "global", "jspmNodeConversion": false, "main": "angular", "meta": { "angular.js": { "exports": "angular", "format": "global", "deps": ["jquery"] } } }
2. Set the meta dependency directly in jspm.config.js: meta: { "angular": { "deps": [ "jquery" ] } }

Is there a different way that I should be using?

I think you'd want to try either jspm install npm:angular@1.5.8 -o "{shim:{angular:{deps:['jquery'], exports: 'global'}}}" ormeta: { 'angular/angular.js': { deps: ['jquery'] } }`. Meta configurations do need to line up carefully, it's always a little tricky.

Great, thank you--I finally got it to work by just doing "meta": { "*": { "exports": "angular", "format": "global", "deps": [ "jquery" ] } } inside the angular override inside package.json and running jspm install again
