Questions about the "main" directive

jmuheim commented 10 years ago

I want to use https://github.com/winmarkltd/BootstrapFormHelpers using bower-rails. Sadly it doesn't specify a main directive:

{
  "name": "bootstrap-formhelpers",
  "version": "2.3.0",
  "homepage": "http://bootstrapformhelpers.com",
  "authors": [
    "Vincent Lamanna <v@cakemail.com>"
  ],
  "description": "A collection of jQuery plugins for Bootstrap.",
  "dependencies": {
    "bootstrap": "3.0.0"
  }
}

How can I use it anyway?

And in your README you're stating:

The rake bower:clean task removes every file that isn't listed in the main directive, if the component specifies a main directive.

This seems a good idea, but you should also take the ignore directive into account, as e.g. for Bootstrap, all files (including Glyphicons Halflings font family, etc.) are removed, but they are still needed.

You are welcome to provide a PR considering ignore directive.

@jmuheim if there isn't a main directive, it doesn't remove anything: https://github.com/42dev/bower-rails/blob/master/lib/tasks/bower.rake#L211

...but I'm sure you figured that out 2 months ago. I need to fix my github notifications.
