jobtarget/ci-bower repository overview

⁠docker-bower

Develop Bower⁠ projects without installing bower. This repository is used to create a Dockerfile that can be used with Continuous Integration tooling to support legacy applications that still use Bower to manage their JavaScript dependencies.

⁠About Bower

Bower⁠ is a dependency management tool that was once a popular way to install JavaScript dependencies in web applications. While Bower is no longer widely used for active projects, there are more than a few age-ed applications that still use Bower.

⁠Run from Docker Hub

A pre-built image is available on Docker Hub⁠. It can be run as follows:

1. Make sure you have your Bower⁠-based project in a directory like /path/to/my-project, and it contains the file /path/to/my-project/bower.json

2. Run a docker container from that image, and map /path/to/my-project into that container (replace /path/to/my-project with the path to your project).

   docker run -v "/path/to/my-project:/home/bower/workspace" jobtarget/ci-bower
   

   Copy

This container will run bower install in non-interactive mode and exit.
That's it.

1. Make sure Docker⁠ is installed.
