zc.buildout recipe to install static resources using Twitter Bower.
Project description
Introduction
This recipe allows downloading and installing assets such as images, CSS and JavaScript using Twitter Bower.
Supported options
The recipe supports the following options:
- packages
Packages that should be installed with bower. Packages specified here are passed to bower verbatim. They can be specified in any form that is supported by bower:
packages = underscore git://github.com/components/jquery.git bootstrap#2.2.2
- base-directory
Absolute path to the bower “project” directory. bower install is run from this directory and the bower configuration file, .bowerrc is placed in this directory. Optional; defaults to ${buildout:parts-directory}/bower. Requires an absolute path.
- executable
Absolute path to the bower executable. Packages are installed using this executable. Optional; defaults to bower on PATH.
- downloads
Relative path, from the base-directory, to the directory where bower will download packages to. This path is written to the .bowerrc file prior to running the executable. Optional; defaults to downloads. Thus, the downloaded packages are placed in ${base-directory}/downloads by default.
Example usage
A sample buildout that uses this recipe could look like:
[buildout] parts = node web [node] recipe = gp.recipe.node url = http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.8.16/node-v0.8.16.tar.gz npms = bower@0.6.8 scripts = bower [web] recipe = bowerrecipe packages = jquery#1.8.3 normalize-css executable = ${buildout:bin-directory}/bower
This would place the downloaded packages in parts/bower/downloads. Modifying the web section to be:
[web] recipe = bowerrecipe packages = jquery#1.8.3 normalize-css executable = ${buildout:bin-directory}/bower base-directory = ${buildout:parts-directory} downloads = components
would result in bower placing the downloaded packages in parts/components.
Notes
Bower still looks at the ~/.bowerrc file. Hence, if this file exists, it may affect the buildout bower configuration
Bower still uses the cache located in the user’s home directory. For me, this happens to be ~/.bower/cache/
