ptitgraig / bower-nexus-resolver Goto Github PK

Hello, sorry for this very fast comment, but my colleague had a problem while trying to pass strictSsl = false config parameter to the resolver.

His goal is to pass strictSsl=false for the moment, and in a near future, to pass a specific ca.

While tracking why this was not working, I discovered an error in the code.

In index.js, in the download call, the 3rd parameter is this.config, which is always null. It should be bower.config or maybe leave it to this.config but in that case one should add config: bower.config in the returned object.

Hope this is clear, I asked him to send a pull request to correct this bug.

below is a minor fix for express and json in the "server.js" implementing the intermediate registry as proposed. It also includes a second fix to keep prefix as 'nexus://' versus 'nexus:////'. In the example I used the port 8082.

So the .bowerrc should be :

{
  "directory": "bower_components",
  "registry": "http://localhost:8082/nexus-bower/",
  "nexusRegistry": "http://localhost:8081/nexus/content/repositories/npm-bower/",
  "resolvers": [
    "bower-nexus-resolver"
  ]
}

The .bowerrc file could be located in your project folder, next to the bower.json file.

var express = require('express'),
    json = require('express-json'),
    http = require('http'),

    config = {
      port: 8082,
      context: 'nexus-bower',
      prefix: 'nexus://'
    },

    app = express(),
    server = http.createServer(app).listen( process.env.PORT || config.port);

app.use( json() );

// wait for a request as: 
// http://<hostname>/<context>/packages/<package-name> 
// respond a simple JSON 
app.get('/' + config.context + '/packages/:name', function(req, res){
    res.json({
        "name": req.params.name,
        "url": config.prefix + req.params.name + '/' +req.params.name
    });
});

console.log("STARTUP:: Express Bower registry simulator server listening on port::", server.address().port, ", environment:: ", app.settings.env);

Finally, you may want to create on your nexus a npm-bower local repository dedicated to bower packages and npm publish downloaded bower packages. Does any one know a tool that jsut does that ?

troubleshooting

• to see info about bower use -j and -V options: javascript bower -j -V install angular
• to see info about your express server launch it: javascript set DEBUG=express:* & grunt server
• clear bower cache

First thanks a lot for publishing this solution. I would recommend to improve the documentation just by adding the code to mimic the bower registry.
