Wire dependencies to your source code.
Install the module with npm:
$ npm install --save wiredep
Install your bower dependencies (if you haven't already):
$ bower install --save jquery
Insert placeholders in your code where your dependencies will be injected:
<html>
<head>
<!-- bower:css -->
<!-- endbower -->
</head>
<body>
<!-- bower:js -->
<!-- endbower -->
</body>
</html>
Let wiredep work its magic:
$ node
> require('wiredep')({ src: 'index.html' });
index.html modified.
{ packages:
{ jquery:
{ main: [Object],
type: [Object],
name: 'jquery',
dependencies: {} } },
js: [ 'bower_components/jquery/dist/jquery.js' ] }
<html>
<head>
<!-- bower:css -->
<!-- endbower -->
</head>
<body>
<!-- bower:js -->
<script src="bower_components/jquery/dist/jquery.js"></script>
<!-- endbower -->
</body>
</html>
wiredep works with streams and integrates with gulp.js out of the box:
var wiredep = require('wiredep').stream;
gulp.task('bower', function () {
gulp.src('./src/footer.html')
.pipe(wiredep({
optional: 'configuration',
goes: 'here'
}))
.pipe(gulp.dest('./dest'));
});
See grunt-wiredep.
You can run wiredep without manipulating any files.
require('wiredep')();
...returns...
{
js: [
'paths/to/your/js/files.js',
'in/their/order/of/dependency.js'
],
css: [
'paths/to/your/css/files.css'
],
// etc.
}
Install wiredep globally to wire up Bower packages from the terminal.
$ npm install -g wiredep
$ wiredep
Wire Bower dependencies to your source code.
Usage: $ wiredep [options]
Options:
-h, --help # Print usage information
-v, --version # Print the version
-b, --bowerJson # Path to `bower.json`
-d, --directory # Your Bower directory
-e, --exclude # A path to be excluded
-i, --ignorePath # A path to be ignored
-s, --src # Path to your source file
--dependencies # Include Bower `dependencies`
--devDependencies # Include Bower `devDependencies`
--verbose # Print the results of `wiredep`
You may also take advantage of Bower >=1.3.1's hooks, with a .bowerrc such as:
{
"scripts": {
"postinstall": "wiredep -s path/to/src.html"
}
}
require('wiredep')({
directory: 'the directory of your Bower packages.', // default: 'bower_components'
bowerJson: 'your bower.json file contents.', // default: require('./bower.json')
src: ['filepaths', 'and/even/globs/*.html' 'to take', 'control of.'],
// ----- Advanced Configuration -----
// All of the below settings are for advanced configuration, to
// give your project support for additional file types and more
// control.
//
// Out of the box, wiredep will handle HTML files just fine for
// JavaScript and CSS injection.
dependencies: true, // default: true
devDependencies: true, // default: false
exclude: [ /jquery/, 'bower_components/modernizr/modernizr.js' ],
ignorePath: /string or regexp to ignore from the injected filepath/,
overrides: {
// see `Bower Overrides` section below.
//
// This inline object offers another way to define your overrides if
// modifying your project's `bower.json` isn't an option.
},

To override a property, or lack of, in one of your dependency's bower.json file, you may specify an overrides object in your own bower.json.
As an example, this is what your bower.json may look like if you wanted to override package-without-main's main file:
{
...
"dependencies": {
"package-without-main": "1.0.0"
},
"overrides": {
"package-without-main": {
"main": "dist/package-without-main.js"
}
}
}
In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint and test your code using npm test.
