Presentation

• Bower - dependency mgt
• Grunt - build tasks, like Ant or Gradle
• they depend on Npm

Problems to solve:

• relative paths
• we import the files manually
• no compression for JS & CSS
• no support for Less
• ... other?

Bower

• Getting the files
• Configuration with .bowerrc

Grunt

• clean dev --> look in target/dev
• clean prod --> look in target/prod
• clean connect:dev watch --> livereload enabled
• change some Less code

Adding a dependency: angular-translate-loader-static-files & angular-translate

• Using bower install --save angular-translate-loader-static-files angular-translate

• Adding them in build.config.js

  'vendor/angular-translate/angular-translate.js', 'vendor/angular-translate-loader-static-files/angular-translate-loader-static-files.js'

• Running grunt clean dev and look the page source

Improvements

• Came from ng-boilerplate, no longer maintained: clutter with build.config.js
• Karma tests
