BaffordBowerBundle

This bundle provides a simple interface to execute bower from the Symfony console or via composer install/update.

Installation

Requirements

BowerBundle requires PHP 5.4 (for short array syntax).

There is a composer dependency on Symfony 2.5. It almost certainly works on older versions of Symfony, though it hasn't been tested.

Get the bundle

Add the following in your composer.json:

{
    "require": {
        "jbafford/bower-bundle": "dev-master"
    }
}

Or,

./composer.phar require jbafford/bower-bundle dev-master

Initialize the bundle

To start using the bundle, register the bundle in your application's kernel class:

// app/AppKernel.php
public function registerBundles()
{
    $bundles = array(
        // ...
        new Bafford\BowerBundle\BaffordBowerBundle(),
    );
)

Configure Symfony

Add the following configuration to your config.yml:

bafford_bower:
    bower_path: %bower_path%

Where %bower_path% is either the path to your bower binary, or a parameter in parameters.yml (recommended) pointing at bower.

Configure Composer (optional)

If you want to automatically run bower install after running a Composer update or install, add the following configuration to your composer.json:

    "scripts": {
        "post-install-cmd": [
        	...
            "Bafford\\BowerBundle\\Composer\\BowerInstall::postInstall"
        ],
        "post-update-cmd": [
        	...
            "Bafford\\BowerBundle\\Composer\\BowerInstall::postUpdate"
        ]
    },

Usage

BowerBundle provides two commands that can be run from the Symfony console:

./app/console bafford:bower:install
./app/console bafford:bower:update

bafford:bower:install runs bower install. bafford:bower:update runs bower update.
