Bower as a dependency? #20

Closed tannerjt closed 8 years ago

tannerjt commented 8 years ago

Since the generator relies on bower for client dependencies, should it be required in the root package.json as a dependency of the generator? On my machine, I didn't have have bower already installed as a global package. Running the generator failed with 'bower' is not recognized as an internal or external command.

I would propose either adding bower as a dependency of the generator, or adding to the documentation the need for npm install -g bower.

Does that sound right, or should it be assumed users already have bower installed globally?

That makes sense. I can add that snippet to the readme and I'll also test if having local Bower will work as expected too.

Thanks @odoe , by the way, this is a great utility! Being able to use ES2015 with the Esri JS API is super helpful.
