Chaplin + Brunch for Bower

[stephenplusplus]

(#572)

@paulmillr, is it possible to integrate Bower into the Chaplin & Brunch app for the vendor dependencies? I've been playing with it, but it's probably a task best left in your hands :)

[paulmillr]

No.

I wanted to add bower support to brunch since its initial β. Yet it is absolutely shitty for automated builders like brunch. I don’t want to manually enter all file names of actual js in all bower packages to get them compiled, this is something build tool should do for me.

Basically in my opinion bower should enforce explicit listing of all included files, like component(1) does. It is very simple task for any project author who uses bower (asked this in the past on bower meeting) and doesn’t really have downsides.

I will probably still add bower support soon. If bower doesn’t want to enforce this practice, brunch will do it. That’s it, all bower packages that are used in brunch project will need to have main property in bower.json.

Amen. We will continue lobbying for this. :)

I missed the last Bower meeting. Does anyone know where we stand on explicit listing beyond exposing ignore for what you don't want to include?.

@addyosmani There was no meeting last Monday because of all you lazy Brits and Americans lying in the sun. ☀️ 🍦 So no update so far.
