I have an angular module which contains html, css, services and js. Now i want to use this module as a bower dependency in other angular apps or projects. I didn't get any proper documentation so if anyone aware of this pls share the process step by step.
Have a look at bower docs: Create Packages
Here is the summary of steps:
Initialize bower for your module and update the bower.json
Register your package using bower register command
Once, registered you can use your package in any app by installing it with bower install <package-name>

I am working on a AngularJS project that uses bower as package manager and gulp to inject the dependencies into the index.html file. I am not very familiar with both of these tools.
I now want to use AWS AppSync, but it is not available as a bower package.
Currently the AWS SDK is specified as a file dependency in bower.json as:
"aws-sdk": "./thirdparty/script/aws-sdk-2.69.0.min.js",
When I install aws-appsync with npm npm install aws-appsync the node_modules folder for aws-appsync contains multiple js files in the lib directory.
How can I include these with bower or is there another way to do this altogether?
I am currently unable to change much of the build and dependency management process so any suggestions working with the current tools would be much appreciated.
Thanks for reaching out!
The Bower team itself has recommended that people migrate to npm or yarn, and so aws-appsync has not been pushed to Bower.
It might be worth investigating whether you can install directly from github using something like...
bower install <github url>.git
... and install directly from the appsync-sdk github repo.
In the end I hacked together an interim solution until I can move the whole project over to npm and browserify.
I added the aws-appsync package using npm and required it in a new file. This file is then passed through a gulp task that uses the browserify plugin. The added file is then included into the rest of the build process as before.
I'm just trying to run mean.js using grunt. Just did the installation steps in http://meanjs.org. But when loaded in localhost, console is showing error
Uncaught ReferenceError: angular is not defined
Can any one help how to resolve this problem?
It sounds like angular is not included on the page.
When the install process is over, npm will initiate a bower install command to install all the front-end modules needed (including angular) for the application
You can run bower manually using
bower install --config.interactive=false
make sure that angular appears in the public/lib folder and included on the page.
After installing packages via npm, such as:
$ npm install bootstrap
or
$ npm install angular
these are saved inside the "node_modules" by default.
How do you access them (link to them) from an html page?
You can't possibly do "href="/node_modules/", so what's the solution?
I imagine something like:
var angular = require("angular");
but I'm not sure.
Try to use bower, or yeoman.
bower - will simplify the process to include js libs
yeoman - will help you to build projects with the the libraries that you need.
I'm using the yeoman generator-gulp-angular to scaffold my app. I installed ng-18next with bower, and the package and it's dependency were both correctly installed in the bower_components directory. However, when I run gulp serve and view the source the components aren't being injected into page, so I get a module instantiation error. If I hard code the deps into the page there are no errors. I also tried bower install --save and the deps are inserted into the bower.json file correctly. Any ideas?
Thanks.
I had hard-coded script references in index.html. Even though they were commented, this caused them not to be injected with wiredep.
I have installed AngularJS using bower, by calling:
$ bower install angular-latest
Now I wonder how to integrate AngularJS into my html file. Apparently, there is neither an angular[.min].js file nor an index.js file as suggested by the bower documentation.
I can't imagine that I am the first person on earth to discover this problem, but unfortunately I did not find any clues on this on Google (but perhaps I only used the wrong terms for searching).
Any idea of how to include AngularJS?
Okay, I found the solution:
$ bower install angular
And everything is fine ...
What you installed with
$ bower install angular-latest
was only the latest source code. You need to actually build AngularJS.
First, you need to install all of the following dependencies if you haven't already:
Git
Node.js
Java
Grunt
Bower
Second, change into the angular.js directory.
Then, install node.js dependencies and bower components:
$ npm install
$ bower install
Finally, you're ready to build your package:
$ grunt package
In the resulting build directory, you'll find
angular.js — The non-minified angular script
angular.min.js — The minified angular script
