buddy-dependencies

buddy-dependencies is an add-on for Buddy to provide simple dependency management, supplementing the features provided by NPM.

Features

• Copies packages from GitHub to your project
• Copies packages listed in the Bower registry to your project
• Copies assets from a local destination to your project
• Optionally bundles files into a single, concatenated/compressed file

Installation

Add buddy-dependencies alongside buddy in your package.json file:

{
  "name": "myproject",
  "description": "This is my web project",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "devDependencies": {
    "buddy": "0.12.0",
    "buddy-dependencies": "0.2.x"
  }
}

$ cd path/to/project
$ npm install

Usage

The install command is run via buddy(1), and will download/copy all resources defined in package.json/buddy.js/buddy.json:

$ buddy install

Examples

Copy project boilerplate from a local directory into the project root:

package.json
{
  "name": "myproject",
  "description": "This is my web project",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "devDependencies": {
    "buddy": "0.12.x",
    "buddy-dependencies": "0.2.x"
  },
  "buddy": {
    "dependencies": {
      ".": {
        "sources": ["../../boilerplate/project"]
      }
    }
  }

$ buddy install

Download js dependencies browser-require and jQuery version 1.9.1, then concatenate and compress to www/libs.js for inclusion in html:

package.json
{
  "name": "myproject",
  "description": "This is my web project",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "devDependencies": {
    "buddy": "0.12.x",
    "buddy-dependencies": "0.2.x"
  },
  "buddy": {
    "dependencies": {
      "libs/vendor": {
        "sources": [
          "popeindustries/browser-require",
          "jquery@1.9.1"
        ],
        "output": "www/libs.js"
      }
    }
  }

$ buddy install

Do the same as above but skip storing files in libs/vendor:

package.json
{
  "name": "myproject",
  "description": "This is my web project",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "devDependencies": {
    "buddy": "0.12.x",
    "buddy-dependencies": "0.2.x"
  },
  "buddy": {
    "dependencies": {
      "www/libs.js": {
        "sources": [
          "popeindustries/browser-require",
          "jquery@1.9.1"
        ]
      }
    }
  }

$ buddy install

Download visionmedia/nib Stylus sources, specifying a specific directory to be referenced in your builds:

package.json
{
  "name": "myproject",
  "description": "This is my web project",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "devDependencies": {
    "buddy": "0.12.x",
    "buddy-dependencies": "0.2.x"
  },
  "buddy": {
    "dependencies": {
      "libs/src/css": {
        "sources": [
          "visionmedia/nib#lib/nib"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

$ buddy install

Concepts

Dependency resources are installed from local locations or remotely from Github.

Sources: An array of local or remote resource locations.

• destination: each group of sources will be installed to the project relative location specified. Alternatively, specify a file path to skip storage and directly concatenate/compress the sources.

• identifier: github username/repo identifiers are preferred, but it is also possible to use identifiers from the bower package manager: 'jquery', 'backbone', 'underscore', etc.

• versioning: github sources can specify a version by appending @ and a npm-style symantic version: '*', '1.2.3', '1.x', '~1.2.0', '>=1.2.3'

• resources: specific resources can be specified by appending # and a list of | separated relative file or directory locations: 'username/repo#a/file/or/directory|another/file/or/directory'

Output: A file destination to concatenate and compress the source contents. The order of sources determines the content order.
