bower.json has a property named version. Bower uses tags to manage versions. I'm wondering what is this property uses for then? Does it have to match the committed tag? If not can it cause issues? Is this another way of managing versions? does bower follow this in any way?
bower. json exists inside of a package. (at the root directory of a package). A package is contained code which other developers/packages can use. So if you make your own package, you need a bower.
You can find the latest version of the npm added in package. json file. If you want to add the latest version either you can run npm install or npm install @latest .
Creating a bower. json to identify the dependencies in your project, so you'll want to make sure you create this bower. json first. You can do that by running bower init from your command line. Upon hitting enter, Bower immediately runs you through a series of questions and creates the bower.
Bower has been deprecated. However, it is not recommended given the rise of other package managers like NPM.
Bower currently ignores version
from bower.json
.
If the version in bower.json doesn't match git tag, you get a warning, and the version
entry in generated .bower.json
is fixed (version
in bower.json
stays the same).
Among others that's why bower plugins should consume.bower.json
instead bower.json
.
You can safely remove version
from your bower.json
. Bower only respects git tags.
Most probably it won't be used even in the future.
