Incorporating library files (css/js) into your app built on the angular-fullstack framework

After using a Yo Angular-Fullstack generator (https://github.com/DaftMonk/generator-angular-fullstack) to start an app, I attempted to install Toastr from bower with the command:

bower install angular-toastr

Now, I need to add the toastr css and js files which can be found in the 

bower_components/angular-toastr/dist

How can I include them in my current project so that they are integrated into the dist folder when building the application using grunt?

The folder structure is as follows - 

├── client
│   ├── app                 - All of our app specific components go in here
│   ├── assets              - Custom assets: fonts, images, etc…
│   ├── components          - Our reusable components, not specific to our app
│
├── e2e                     - Protractor end to end tests
│
└── server
    ├── api                 - Server API for the app
    ├── auth                - Authentication handling with different strategies
    ├── components          - Reusable or app-wide components
    ├── config              - Main app configuration
    │   └── local.env.js    - Keep environment variables out of source control
    │   └── environment     - Node environment specific configurations
    └── views               - Server-rendered views

Answer №1

One of the tools I rely on is a grunt task called wiredep. It efficiently locates the bower components my app uses and inserts references to the css/js files in the specified file.

For minification, I utilize .NET BundleConfig which influences how my task setup appears:

wiredep: {
        task: {
            src: [
            'App_Start/BundleConfig.cs'
            ],
            ignorePath: '..',
            fileTypes: {
                cs: {
                    block: /(([ \t]*)\/\/\s*bower:*(\S*))(\n|\r|.)*?(\/\/\s*endbower)/gi,
                    detect: {
                        js: /<script.*src=['"](.+)['"]>/gi,
                        css: /<link.*href=['"](.+)['"]/gi
                    },
                    replace: {
                        js: '.Include("~{{filePath}}")',
                        css: '.Include("~{{filePath}}")'
                    }
                }
            },
            dependencies: true,
            devDependencies: false
        }
    },

The outcome reflects this structure:

bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/thirdparty")
            //NOTE: auto-generated by a grunt task
            //anything between 'bower:js' and 'endbower' WILL BE LOST!
            //bower:js
            .Include("~/assets/angular/angular.js")
            .Include("~/assets/moment/moment.js")
            //endbower
            );

bundles.Add(new StyleBundle("~/bundles/css")
            //NOTE: auto-generated by a grunt task
            //anything between 'bower:css' and 'endbower' WILL BE LOST!
            //bower:css
            .Include("~/assets/nouislider/distribute/nouislider.min.css")
            //endbower
            .Include("~/Content/css/app.css")
            );

While I stick with .NET BundleConfing, you have the flexibility to use and tags instead. Simply removing the option replace from the grunt task configuration should adapt it accordingly.
