UsageΒΆ

Specifie BOWER_INSTALLED_APPS in settings, like:

BOWER_INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'jquery#1.9',
    'underscore',
)

Download bower packages with management command:

./manage.py bower install

Add scripts in template, like:

{% load static %}
<script type="text/javascript" src='{% static 'jquery/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:

./manage.py bower freeze

You can call bower commands like info and update with:

./manage.py bower info backbone
./manage.py bower update
