I'm using Gulp and the main-bower-files to bundle my bower dependencies.
I need to ensure that jQuery is included before AngularJS, but since the Angular bower package does not actually depend on jQuery it is included after.
Is there a way to push jQuery to the top of source list or override Angular's dependency so it does require jQuery?
I tried using the gulp-order plugin to do this but it messes up the original order of the remaining files:
gulp.task('bower', function () {
var sources = gulp.src(mainBowerFiles(['**/*.js', '!**/*.min.js'])); // don't include min files
return sources
// force jquery to be first
.pipe(plugins.order([
'jquery.js',
'*'
]))
.pipe(plugins.sourcemaps.init())
.pipe(plugins.concat('libs.min.js'))
.pipe(plugins.uglify())
.pipe(plugins.sourcemaps.write('./'))
.pipe(gulp.dest(config.output))
.pipe(plugins.notify({ message: 'Bower task complete' }));
});
