How do you add an access restricted repo as dependency to your bower.json without providing the user credentials in the bower.json?
i.e. I want to avoid specifying it like this:
{
"dependencies": {
"angular": "~1.0.6",
"restricted": "https://<username>:<password>#gitserver.tld/restricted"
}
}
I'd rather like bower / git ask me for credentials during install.
you could try using ssh-copy-id that way you could atleast not have to give away your password.
it can be installed through homebrew.
brew install ssh-copy-id
and to use it
ssh-copy-id myuser#gitserver.tld

I am trying to include a private BitBucket repository to my package.json, but I also would like to manage the version, as a normal module.
currently I am using this
"package-name": "git+https://<user>:<password>#<url-repository>.git"
I already tried it, but it didn't work.
"package-name": "git+https://<user>:<password>#<url-repository>.git#v1.0"
Any idea?
Login to your bitbucket account and under user settings add an app password:
Add package dependency to your package.json as:
"dependencies": {
"my-module": "git+https://Xaqron:pwd#bitbucket.org/Xaqron/my-module.git#*"
}
Replace Xaqron with your own username and pwd with app password from step one.
to install specific version add #v.v.v (i.e. #1.0.0) to the end of dependency URL.
I am currently using this and it works:
{
"dependencies": {
"package-name": "git+ssh://git#<url-repository>.git#v0.1.0"
}
}
I am using npm version 4.1.2 and self hosted bitbucket version 4.14.6
You have to git tag the version you want to install in the module repo. The repo url can be found in the module's package.json file, e.g.
"repository": {
"type": "git",
"url": "git+https://github.com/repo-owner-name/my-module.git" // <-- This line!
},
When you've added a tag (e.g. git tag -a 0.0.1 -m "auto release") to a release, it can be installed using:
"my-module": "git+https://bitbucket.org/repo-owner-name/my-module.git#0.0.1"
I want to use angular-cookies from bower but when I do:
bower install angular-cookies it sometimes fetches the one published by the angular team and sometimes some other old incompatible one from an independent author (angularify)
If I do manage to get the official one, then whenever I run bower install ... again, for some other reason, bower will switch the version of angular-cookies that I already have, breaking my application.
How can I do something like:
bower install --force https://github.com/angular/bower-angular-cookies
As the doc specifies - you can add something like:
"dependencies": {
"angular-cookies": "git://github.com/angular/bower-angular-cookies"
}
Which will cause bower to get the dependency from the git repo you want. You can also use git://github.com/angular/bower-angular-cookies#branch_name or git://github.com/angular/bower-angular-cookies#tag_name to specify a specific branch or tag.
See this question as well.
I need to force bower to override a locally-defined dependency with a fresh copy. I assumed that bower update <package> would do the trick (even with a little extra --force). However, it stubbornly prefers whatever copy is installed under bower_components.
Consider the following layout (all in one codebase for now, sadly):
shared/bower.json
{
"name": "mysharedstuff",
"version": "0.0.1",
...
}
client1/bower.json
{
...
"dependencies": {
"mysharedstuff": "../shared"
}
}
The only way I can get a fresh copy of shared/ is to explicitly delete the copy installed under bower_components. For example:
client1$> rm -rf bower_components/mysharedstuff
client1$> bower install
Is this a bug with how bower handles versioning of local dependencies? Or am I missing something simple?
Just to update from the github issue you referenced.
bower --force update
will force update any packages in your bower.json.
Works in Bower > v1.3.6
Because bower looking for latest TAG name in your repo. Specify your last commit with git tag.
I am using Bower (http://bower.io/) to manage my app's third-party libraries and now I want to use a library which doesn't have a registered bower package, namely jquery.cloudinary.js from Cloudinary (http://cloudinary.com).
I would really love to include cloudinary amongst my bower-managed libraries because it really helps cloning my development environment when I need to.
Is it possible to install any library available in the internet with Bower by just editing my bower.json file? If so, how?
I guess I could either ask Cloudinary to create and register a Bower package or do it myself but I am still in doubt whether I should do any of these.
Register it or install with the git url directly: bower install http://website.com/repo.git
From the Bower readme:
Bower offers several ways to install packages:
Using a local or remote package
bower install <package>
Where <package> can be any one of the following:
A name that maps to a package registered with Bower, e.g, jquery. ‡
A remote Git endpoint, e.g., git://github.com/someone/some-package.git. Can be public or private. ‡
A local endpoint, i.e., a folder that's a Git repository. ‡
A shorthand endpoint, e.g., someone/some-package (defaults to GitHub). ‡
A URL to a file, including zip and tar files. Its contents will be extracted.
I am trying to install a dependency with Bower using a URL. As of Bower documentation:
Bower offers several ways to install packages:
# Using the dependencies listed in the current directory's bower.json
bower install
# Using a local or remote package
bower install <package>
# Using a specific version of a package
bower install <package>#<version>
# Using a different name and a specific version of a package
bower install <name>=<package>#<version>
Where <package> can be any one of the following:
A name that maps to a package registered with Bower, e.g, jquery.
A remote Git endpoint, e.g., git://github.com/someone/some-package.git.
Can be public or private.
A local endpoint, i.e., a folder that's a Git repository.
A shorthand endpoint, e.g., someone/some-package
(defaults to GitHub).
A URL to a file, including zip and tar files.
Its contents will be extracted.
However, then it says, that all the types except the URL allow to specify a version.
How do I specify a version for a URL downloaded dependency?
Use a git endpoint instead of a package name:
bower install https://github.com/jquery/jquery.git#2.0.3
If you use bower.json file to specify your dependencies:
{
"dependencies": {
...
"photo-swipe": "git#github.com:dimsemenov/PhotoSwipe.git#v3.0.x",
#bower 1.4 (tested with that version) can read repositorios with uri format
"photo-swipe": "git://github.com/dimsemenov/PhotoSwipe.git#v3.0.x",
}
}
Just remember bower also searches for released versions and tags so you can point to almost everything, and can interprate basic query patterns like previous example. that will fetch latest minor update of version 3.0 (tested from bower 1.3.5)
Update, as the question description also mention using only a URL and no mention of a github repository.
Another example is to execute this command using the desired url, like:
bower install gmap3MarkerWithLabel=http://google-maps-utility-library-v3.googlecode.com/svn/tags/markerwithlabel/1.0/src/markerwithlabel.js -S
that command downloads your js library puts in {your destination path}/gmap3MarkerWithLabel/index.js and automatically creates an entry in your bower.json file called gmap3MarkerWithLabel: "..." After that, you can only execute bower update gmap3MarkerWithLabel if needed.
Funny thing if you do the process backwars (add manually the entry in bower.json, an then bower install entryName) it doesn't work, you get a
bower ENOTFOUND Package
gmapV3MarkerWithLabel not found
Targeting a specific commit
Remote (github)
When using github, note that you can also target a specific commit (for example, of a fork you've made and updated) by appending its commit hash to the end of its clone url. For example:
"dependencies": {
"example": "https://github.com/owner_name/repo_name.git#9203e6166b343d7d8b3bb638775b41fe5de3524c"
}
Locally (filesystem)
Or you can target a git commit in your local file system if you use your project's .git directory, like so (on Windows; note the forward slashes):
"dependencies": {
"example": "file://C:/Projects/my-project/.git#9203e6166b343d7d8b3bb638775b41fe5de3524c"
}
This is one way of testing library code you've committed locally but not yet pushed to the repo.
Use the following:
bower install --save git://github.com/USER/REPOS_NAME.git
More here:
http://bower.io/#getting-started
Just an update.
Now if it's a github repository then using just a github shorthand is enough if you do not mind the version of course.
GitHub shorthand
$ bower install desandro/masonry
Here's a handy short-hand way to install a specific tag or commit from GitHub via bower.json.
{
"dependencies": {
"your-library-name": "<GITHUB-USERNAME>/<REPOSITORY-NAME>#<TAG-OR-COMMIT>"
}
}
For example:
{
"dependencies": {
"custom-jquery": "jquery/jquery#2.0.3"
}
}
Just specifying the uri endpoint worked for me, bower 1.3.9
"dependencies": {
"jquery.cookie": "latest",
"everestjs": "http://www.everestjs.net/static/st.v2.js"
}
Running bower install, I received following output:
bower new version for http://www.everestjs.net/static/st.v2.js#*
bower resolve http://www.everestjs.net/static/st.v2.js#*
bower download http://www.everestjs.net/static/st.v2.js
You could also try updating bower
npm update -g bower
According to documentation: the following types of urls are supported:
http://example.com/script.js
http://example.com/style.css
http://example.com/package.zip (contents will be extracted)
http://example.com/package.tar (contents will be extracted)
I believe that specifying version works only for git-endpoints. And not for folder/zip ones. As when you point bower to a js-file/folder/zip you already specified package and version (except for js indeed). Because a package has bower.json with version in it.
Specifying a version in 'bower install' makes sense when you're pointing bower to a repository which can have many versions of a package. It can be only git I think.
Try bower install git://github.com/urin/jquery.balloon.js.git#1.0.3 --save where 1.0.3 is the tag number which you can get by reading tag under releases. Also for URL replace by git:// in order for system to connect.
Installs package from git and save to your bower.json dependency block.
bower register package-name git-endpoint#version
install package-name --save
(--save will save the package name version in the bower.json file inside the dependency block).
