Get rid of bower

And npm. Use yarn for everything
Bower is the default for purescript for apparently good reason
Have you considered Spago?
Oh neat just checked it out. I'll reopen this issue!
PS seeing you here makes me wonder if you're trying to use oak? If so, use <1.0 for now, I'm in the middle of a big trip and can't fix the latest but the do syntax for html has a fundamental issue so I'll be reverting it soon.
Yes, I stumbled upon Oak and I love its simplicity, so I would like to play with it a little bit.
The best practice now is spago.
install it with git clone and run stack install in project dir.
After long waiting, we could use
spago bundle-app app.js instead pulp --watch browserify --to app.js to build.
Add dependencies to packages.dhall and spago.dhall
For simplicity, you may use parcel.js for the next step.
parcel build index.html or parcel build app.js.
@suzumiyasmith awesome. I'll work on that when I finish up at my day job
Hmm. I don't love the look of spago, honestly. The build process seems more convoluted. On a quick read through the readme, you have to make a separate js file and import your Main.purs there in order to embed it.
One of the things that I was very deliberate about in Oak is that your Main.main can embed itself in the page. And that pulp browserify does all you need to get going.
My main user target for Oak is not existing Haskel pros, but js developers. I'm hoping to convert React and Vue users and the like...
Going to stay with bower for now.
Actually you don't have to import Main as a js module.
spago bundle-app -t index.js
And include index.js in a HTML file
Everything done.
