How to use with bower?

[imevro]

Hi.

I have installed riot from bower and using browserify.

When I'm trying transform with riotify,

var riot = require("../bower_components/riotjs/riot");

require("./dashboard.tag");
require("./navbar.tag");

I have problem:

➜  web git:(master) ✗ browserify -t riotify app/scripts/app.js
Error: Cannot find module 'riot' from '/Users/e/Development/Coiny/web/app/scripts'

Sorry. I have no idea how bower works, but from the error message, it seems like "riot" is not installed.

[imevro]

Yep, it's not in node_modules, but in app/bower_components/riotjs.

Then I don't think this is a riotify issue. riotify is just a transformer. It cannot tell browserify where to look for modules.

[imevro]

But it's work when I remove riotify. For example, when I delete line require("./dashboard.tag"), everything is ok, output.js is https://gist.github.com/theaqua/c5ee4db1ca2ea6cfc70c

@theaqua: Does browserify work with any other transformers, such as coffeeify? As in, have you managed to get bower to work with browserify and any other transformers?

[jhthorsen]

Not sure if this makes sense (as I don't know bower), but have you tried bower install --save riotify ?

[imevro]

Thanks, I removed bower and install riot as npm dependency 😂.
Now it works fine!
