sails-generate-bower

A bower generator for use with the Sails command-line interface.

Installation

Certain generators are installed by default in Sails, but they can be overridden. Check the Sails docs for information on installing generator overrides / custom generators.

Usage

New project setup

$ sails new myProject              # create a new sails project 
$ cd myProject
$ sails generate bower             # generate/modify the necessary files 
$ npm install                      # install modules 
$ bower install bootstrap --save   # install required bower packages 
$ sails lift                       # lift the server 

Go to http://localhost:1337 and view page source, and you'll see the CSS and JS files injected into the template.

In a node script

var path = require('path');
var sailsgen = require('sails-generate');
var scope = {
    rootPath: path.resolve(__dirname)
};
sailsgen(require('sails-generate-bower'), scope, function (err) {
    if (err) throw err;
 
    // It worked.
});
