Please add it to bower. Maybe without the need for any dependencies on npm/node? about flux

[briandipalma]

bower depends on both npm and node...

[totty90]

What is the problem with that?

[briandipalma]

Well how can something that uses bower not depend on node/npm?

[totty90]

Just publish it to bower... I don't understand what is so complicated about that. Why do you care whenever bower depends on node/npm? It doesn't matter.

"publishing" to bower actually means we need to keep compiled files in the repo. That might not be the worst thing, but is the exact reason we actually maintain a separate repo with builds for React (https://github.com/facebook/react-bower). It's not as simple as publishing compiled files to npm.

@briandipalma Please take it elsewhere. Yes, I mostly agree that bower is silly for how I build sites, but it serves a slightly different purpose than npm, even if it depends on node/npm. So let's respect the people who use it.

@fisherwebdev I think we could do this. I would probably just say have a dist folder and only add the Flux.js file there when we tag version updates (bower depends on git tags), rejecting other changes to that file. If you're interested, let's chat and iron it out.

Thanks for your attention.

It'd be great to see this in bower. My team uses bower for our client code and if absolutely nothing else, this would make it even easier to bring into our projects.

Plus there's the fact that React is in bower, so publishing it there would allow us to keep our dependencies clean cleaner ;)

Done. bower install flux will give you bower_components/flux/dist/Flux.js, which if you add to your page will give you a global Flux object. Flux.dispatcher is your dispatcher.

Thanks, Bill (:

@fisherwebdev That's cool. Maybe it would be worth putting that in the docs (readme) as well? :)
