What is bower-config?

The bower-config npm package is used to manage Bower configuration files. It allows you to read, modify, and write Bower configuration settings programmatically.

What are bower-config's main functionalities?

Reading Configuration

This feature allows you to read the Bower configuration settings from the .bowerrc file or other configuration sources.

const Config = require('bower-config');
const config = Config.read();
console.log(config);

Modifying Configuration

This feature allows you to modify the Bower configuration settings and write them back to the configuration file.

const Config = require('bower-config');
const config = Config.read();
config.directory = 'new_components';
Config.write(config);

Setting Defaults

This feature allows you to set default values for Bower configuration settings.

const Config = require('bower-config');
const config = Config.read();
config.defaults = { directory: 'default_components' };
Config.write(config);
