Easy way to use bower with your Django project.
Bower is a package manager for the web. It offers a generic, unopinionated solution to the problem of front-end package management, while exposing the package dependency model via an API that can be consumed by a more opinionated build stack. There are no system wide dependencies, no dependencies are shared between different apps, and the dependency tree is flat.

Install django-bower package:
Add django-bower to INSTALLED_APPS in your settings:
Add staticfinder to STATICFILES_FINDERS:
'djangobower.finders.BowerFinder',
Specify path to components root (you need to use an absolute path):
BOWER_COMPONENTS_ROOT = '/PROJECT_ROOT/components/'
If you need, you can manually set the path to bower:
BOWER_PATH = '/usr/bin/bower'
You can see an example settings file in example project.
Specify BOWER_INSTALLED_APPS in settings, like:
BOWER_INSTALLED_APPS = (
'jquery#1.9',
'underscore',
)
Download bower packages with the management command:
./manage.py bower install
Add scripts in the template, like:
{% load static %}
<script type="text/javascript" src='{% static 'jquery/dist/jquery.js' %}'></script>
In production you need to call bower install before collectstatic:
./manage.py bower install ./manage.py collectstatic
If you need to pass arguments to bower, like --allow-root, use:
./manage.py bower install -- --allow-root
You can use bower freeze to receive BOWER_INSTALLED_APPS with fixed current versions:
You can call bower commands like info and update with:
./manage.py bower info backbone ./manage.py bower update
django-bower supports python 3.3+
