# Jun 27th 2017, 10:38 cleptric But npm isn’t faster than bower
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:38 dakota exactly :)
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:38 cleptric Because it’s faster
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:38 neon1024 @cleptric A horse and cart works, so why drive a car? ;)
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:38 dakota yarn is the way of the future :)
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:37 cleptric It works, so why should I chnage it?
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:37 dereuromark me too
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:37 cleptric I used bower
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:37 neon1024 It did always seems a bit odd to use a package manager to install a package manager.
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:34 spriz NPM all the things
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:34 spriz To me Bower is dead :P
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:34 spriz I do not see any reason to use bower anymore :thinking_face: anyone can fill me in?
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:25 maymeow im still using bootstrap 3 (for now)
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:25 birdy247 bootstrap 4 is sass
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:23 maymeow yes
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:23 neon1024 I think Twitter Bootstrap is built using Less though
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:23 neon1024 I found Less first, as I read about Compass, which was the front-end framework built on Less
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:22 neon1024 #badanalogies
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:22 neon1024 They’re like flavours of ice cream. They’re all a bit different, but they’re all ice cream at the end of the day :P
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:22 neon1024 The Sass gem can convert Less into Sass if I recall
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:21 neon1024 As you have sass vs scss too
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:21 neon1024 Same difference *really*
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:21 maymeow Sass vs Less? I have tried only Less mainly because i have installed nodeJS on my pc...
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:19 neon1024 We went with the Sass gem mostly because we all use Mac OS which comes with Ruby, so it’s easier for the design team :slightly_smiling_face:
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:19 neon1024 Saves you having to have both NodeJS and Ruby in your development environment
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:19 neon1024 So you might want to find a NodeJS package to build your Sass
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:18 neon1024 If you’re going to use Bower, then you’ll need NPM, which means you need NodeJS
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:18 neon1024 At least, that’s my very limited understanding of it’s purpose
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:18 neon1024 Just like how you use Composer
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:18 neon1024 Perhaps some google maps thing, some charts js perhaps, maybe reactjs
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:17 neon1024 So you might include twitter bootstrap and jquery in your bower.json
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:17 neon1024 Well Bower is just a package manager
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:17 birdy247 and the JS is handled via bower
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:17 neon1024 We also like --style=compressed for some nice compressed css :slightly_smiling_face:
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:16 neon1024 Yep
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:16 birdy247 then push to production
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:16 birdy247 then bui;d
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:16 birdy247 so make a change to the .sass file
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:16 neon1024 Badsauce.
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:16 neon1024 The main point is, don’t compile it on production, especially on request
# Jun 27th 2017, 10:15 neon1024 I’m sure it can be compiled using all sorts of tooling though
