Usage in Addon

[svkangal]

I am new to this whole Ember Addon stuff, would it work with addon if we add list it as a devdependancy instead? Problem of it being a dependancy is that it will get linked in to the consuming app as a dependancy.

What are you trying to do with less in your addon?

https://github.com/gdub22/ember-cli-less#usage-in-addons, My addon styles are in less, want to convert them to css when anyone uses the addon.

As far as I'm aware, you must put it in the dependencies otherwise it won't be installed when a user installs your addon, since devDependencies are only installed when you do npm install from within the project folder. Also, I don't think that the addon will be a direct dependency of the users project, since it's not defined in their package.json so ember-cli doesn't pick it up.

Thanks for replying. Right now its confusing on what is the right way to include styles and the discussion over here also got me confused.

For addons I usually import inside the index.js in the included hook. I think that works with the preprocessor if it's in the deps.
