Question about usage of 'bower' #8

Closed alexjlockwood closed 7 years ago

alexjlockwood commented 7 years ago

Hey Roman,

I was trying to learn from your web apps again and I was just wondering what is the purpose of using 'bower' in this web app? Couldn't you just add google-code-prettify, ace-builds, and jquery as npm dependencies in package.json and remove bower from the project entirely? Just wondering...

Yeah bower is deprecated in favor of nom+webpack. For really, really simple projects like this one bower easier to setup IMO and is still better than downloading JS libraries manually.

alexjlockwood commented 7 years ago

What I mean though is couldn't you just add the deps declared in bower.json into package.json and then reference the libraries under node_modules/ instead of bower_components?

Then you could use npm-check-updates and stuff (not sure if there is something similar for bower as well).

Yep there's bower update I believe
