# Jun 27th 2017, 10:06 neon1024 Heh
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:06 Antoniossss (I would use CDN for that)
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:06 birdy247 and build with grunt
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:06 birdy247 Was going to use less for the css
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:05 neon1024 If you’re ‘building’ your assets, perhaps you need something like Grunt
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:05 birdy247 seems fairly quick and easy to setup
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:05 neon1024 I bet there are lots of funky NodeJS packages you can find on NPM for various things though :slightly_smiling_face:
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:05 birdy247 but take your point
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:05 birdy247 I use mapping fairly heavily
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:04 neon1024 My staple is really just Twitter Bootstrap and jQuery :P
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:04 neon1024 I guess if you use lots of front-end libraries you might find Bower more manageable. Like if you were building a single page app in React, Angular, Ember or something like that. Not something I’ve ever done.
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:02 neon1024 Stuff like jQuery I pull from the Google CDN
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:01 neon1024 Most JS libraries I use are on Packagist. So I install them with Composer and symlink them into /webroot
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:01 birdy247 and then copy/paste it to an "assets" folder in webroot
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:01 birdy247 I currently download something i.e. bootstrap
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:01 birdy247 I mean the files
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:01 neon1024 Yeah, don’t do that.
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:00 neon1024 Er :S
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:00 birdy247 I never really feel right doing that
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:00 birdy247 Better than copy/pasting js
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:00 neon1024 Perhaps my front-end stuff isn’t complex enough
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:00 neon1024 Just feels totally superfluous to me
# Jun 27th 2017, 09:59 birdy247 Thats how we intend to use it
# Jun 27th 2017, 09:59 birdy247 Cant you just install locally and push to dev?
# Jun 27th 2017, 09:59 neon1024 Perhaps you can use it to build assets in development before pushing the compiled stuff up to production
# Jun 27th 2017, 09:59 neon1024 I don’t want those on production
# Jun 27th 2017, 09:59 neon1024 I don’t like that it has both NodeJS and NPM has dependancies
# Jun 27th 2017, 09:59 birdy247 Any reason why?
# Jun 27th 2017, 09:58 neon1024 But I’m a back-end developer. What do I know about front-end?
# Jun 27th 2017, 09:58 neon1024 Really
# Jun 27th 2017, 09:58 birdy247 @neon1024 for real or sarcastic?
# Jun 27th 2017, 09:58 hmic like, at least, foollow the tutorials in the book closely and play a litte with that code base
# Jun 27th 2017, 09:57 hmic IMHO you should not start with that app as your first 3.x project. i highly recommend you do some 3.x work before
# Jun 27th 2017, 09:57 neon1024 @birdy247 No, I would not.
# Jun 27th 2017, 09:57 hmic it might be better to create a new app and move stuff over from the old one, as this is clearly a cleaner approach. and if you need to refactor the controllers completely anyways, i'd go this way likely
# Jun 27th 2017, 09:57 birdy247 neon1024 would you recomend using bower?
# Jun 27th 2017, 09:55 birdy247 never used bower before
# Jun 27th 2017, 09:54 birdy247 using it as a way to learn how bower works
# Jun 27th 2017, 09:54 neon1024 :O
# Jun 27th 2017, 09:54 hmic at least the namespacing and other easily automated stuff will be done
# Jun 27th 2017, 09:54 birdy247 @neon1024 we are just checking out your cake exchange repo :slightly_smiling_face:
