Constantly ignore arbor addiction

Question

I load angular, angular-bootstrap and bootstrap with a gazebo. Bootstrap has a dependency on jquery that is installed in the process. But I do not need this in my project, since I use only bootstrap css.

So, I tried to permanently remove jquery dependency with

bower uninstall jquery --save 

This is a jquery removal, but the next time I do a bower update it will load again.

Is there a way to tell the player to constantly skip an addiction?

edit: I would like something like this:

 "resolutions": { "jquery": "no, thanks" } 

Answer 1

Pull request # 1394 added official support for this function and is present in version 1.6.3 and below. Check your version with bower -v and run npm install -g bower to update.

For reference, see .bowerrc . If this does not work for you, indicate a problem with bower , because it is a mistake.

We use it in our .bowerrc , for example:

 { "ignoredDependencies": [ "bootstrap", "bootstrap-sass", "bootstrap-sass-official" ] } 

Answer 2

We had a similar situation where we had a Backbone dependency on Underscore in her bower.json , but instead we use Lo-Dash, so Bower pulled Underscore unnecessarily for each installation. We have automated compliance checks for third-party licenses, so we did not want anything that we really did not use.

I understand that this is not exactly what they are intended for, but Bower install-hooks can be used to clean unnecessary post-prints — install (at least until Bower gets the “thank you” permission for which you hinted). In .bowerrc :

 { "directory": "app/bower_components", "scripts": { "postinstall": "rm -rf app/bower_components/underscore" } } 

It’s a little hack, but it works.

Answer 3

Something you can do in the bower.json file bower.json :

 { "dependencies": { ... "bootstrap": "^3.2.0" } "overrides": { "bootstrap": { "dependencies": [] } } } 

This means: remove all boostrap dependencies, what you need as jquery is the only one (you can check with bower info bootstrap )

Answer 4

Add it to your .gitignore if you commit your dependencies. Otherwise, leave it as it does not matter. You should just use what you need and ignore the rest.

Answer 5

The above answers are correct, but an additional solution is to use wiredep as described in this answer:

grunt-bower-install: exclude specific components

After installing grunt-wiredep, you can add something similar to this in your Grunt.js to exclude jquery from the insert:

 // Automatically inject Bower components into the app wiredep: { options: {}, app: { src: ['<%= my.app %>/index.html'], exclude: ['bower_components/jquery'] } }, 

Bower will load jquery anyway, but at least you can say that it will not be included in HTML src.

Answer 6

DISCLAIMER: This does not fix your specific problem, but it helped me, so maybe it will help other people.

I use grunt-bower-task to pull files into the lib directory. I wanted to exclude "angular" and just include "angular.js". One of my dependencies was "angular". In my bower.json , I now have:

 { "name": "myapp", "version": "0.0.1", "dependencies": { "angular.js": "1.3.15", "angular-bootstrap": "0.13.0", "angular-cookies": "1.3.15", "angular-storage": "0.5.0", "angular-ui-router": "0.2.15", "mjolnic-bootstrap-colorpicker": "2.1" }, "exportsOverride": { "angular": { "dump": "*.xxx" }, "angular.js": { "js": [ "*.js", "*.js.map" ], "css": "*.css" } }, "resolutions": { "angular": "1.3.15" } } 

In my gruntfile.js , I have:

 bower: { install: { options: { targetDir: './lib', layout: 'byType', install: true, cleanTargetDir: true, cleanBowerDir: false } } }, 

This stops copying the "angular" files to the destination.
