Installing non-bower-ready library with Bower

问题:

I am using Bower (http://bower.io/) to manage my app's third-party libraries and now I want to use a library which doesn't have a registered bower package, namely jquery.cloudinary.js from Cloudinary (http://cloudinary.com).

I would really love to include cloudinary amongst my bower-managed libraries because it really helps cloning my development environment when I need to.

Is it possible to install any library available in the internet with Bower by just editing my bower.json file? If so, how?

I guess I could either ask Cloudinary to create and register a Bower package or do it myself but I am still in doubt whether I should do any of these.

回答1:

Register it or install with the git url directly: bower install http://website.com/repo.git

From the Bower readme:

Bower offers several ways to install packages:

Using a local or remote package

bower install <package>

Where <package> can be any one of the following:

A name that maps to a package registered with Bower, e.g, jquery. ‡

A remote Git endpoint, e.g., git://github.com/someone/some-package.git. Can be public or private. ‡

A local endpoint, i.e., a folder that's a Git repository. ‡

A shorthand endpoint, e.g., someone/some-package (defaults to GitHub). ‡

A URL to a file, including zip and tar files. Its contents will be extracted.
