Is there a Bower package for Breeze and the Breeze Angular Service?

is there an official Bower package for Breeze (that also includes the Breeze Angular Service)? I am not using Visual Studio / Hot Towel for my front end development. I have decided that I want to try using Yeoman to create my project and am using Adobe Brackets for the front end. I am using VS2013 and Web API for the backend.

The angular template for Yeoman creates a grunt file that handles all bower components and minifies them for you. Its also easier to manage 3rd party "vendor" scripts with a package manager like Bower (or NuGet).

If a Bower Breeze package (ideally with the Angular Service) does not exist can you let me know if someone is planning to create one (and when that might happen)?

Thanks, Andrew

Updated Feb 10, 2015 to reflect the now current packages

There are OFFICIAL Breeze bower packages available.

bower install breeze-client
bower install breeze-client-labs

The breeze-client package delivers the core Breeze libraries including all adapters.

breeze.bridge.angular.js (FKA, "breeze.angular.js") is among the core adapters and provides the "breeze.angular" service you asked about.

The breeze-client-labs package has all the current script files from breeze labs such as:

breeze.directives.js
breeze.directives.css
breeze.getEntityGraph.js
breeze.metadata-helper.js

etc.

Hope this helps.

There is now an official breezejs bower package for client assets. Install from a terminal/command window with

bower install breezejs

Case matters! Be sure to spell "breezejs" in all lowercase.

This package contains the core JavaScript distribution files PLUS

  • adapters - the officially supported breeze adapters in the core, including the mongo client adapter

  • labs - the currently "approved" breeze.labs ... you'll find the breeze.angular service module there.

The former "breeze.js" bower and npm packages have been retired as of January 20, 2014. They are frozen at breeze release v.1.5.2. This repo will be retained indefinitely.

We've separated the breeze core and breeze labs content into their own packages:

breeze-client
breeze-client-labs

You'll get almost the same effect with

bower install breeze-client
bower install breeze-client-labs

You'll have to adjust your script tags too because the files have moved around a bit too ... in obvious ways.
