Bower support about sql-formatter HOT 3 CLOSED

I've never used bower, so I know little of what's needed for adding bower support. Would you be interested in creating a pull request?

Hi @nene - Thanks for the quick reply :) much appreciated.

There isn't much to making it available in Bower...
If you want a short-name install you basically need to register the package (find a name) and run bower register <my-package-name> <git-endpoint>

Personally I don't really mind the short-name, we can also just run bower install https://github.com/zeroturnaround/sql-formatter.git

What you're really missing for browser support is basically committing the "compiled" or dist path to the repo - so that we can include it in the markup like this

Now you can just run npm run build locally and commit it like this fork of sql-formatter did - see last 4 commits or you can probably do a more-robust build which when merging builds and commits the dist automatically for you - but that's obviously more complex (either using commit hooks, or travis to do the automated).

Hmm... I don't really like the idea of committing compiled artifacts to the repository. Is there an alternative way to achieve Bower support?

From Bower homepage I read the following message:

...psst! While Bower is maintained, we recommend using Yarn and Webpack for front-end projects

I take it to mean that Bower is deprecated and you're better off using something else.

Therefore unless there is a simpler way of supporting bower, I'm not really willing to do that.
