Can I use a third-party package?

I'd love to include some date-related functions but don't want to duplicate the code as I already have them created and tested here: https://github.com/montanaflynn/human-date

Would it be ok to include my package in the package.json file?

[graypegg]

humandate.js is probably small enough that it could fit inside Δ.js, Rabrennie would have the final say though

[Rabrennie]

As long as you check to see if it's loaded in some way I don't see why not. I'd rather you put it as a bower dependency for now because I'm only really using npm for gulp. As @toish said though it would fit in Δ.js but as I said it's really up to you.

I added human-date to bower, can you give me an example of how to include it?

[gytdau]

Add something like this to bower.json

  (...),
  "dependencies": {
        "the-name-of-your-package": "~1.2.3"
  }
}

where 1.2.3 is your desired version.
I'm not sure on how you should go about actually including it. I'd say that you should probably put it in a new script tag in the head section of a web page whenever you plan on using it.

I don't think that's the best way to include packages. How I imagined it would work is I include it in npm's package.json, include it in myFunction.js and let gulp handle putting it into dist/
