How to ingest NPM packages??

[andyl]

Some JS utilities only come as NPM packages. (as far as I can tell...) Here's an example - Radium https://github.com/FormidableLabs/radium

For NPM packages like this, I have to manually download the JS to vendor/assets/javascripts. :-(

Couple of questions:

1. why are some JS libs packaged with bower, and some with NPM?
2. for NPM packages like Radium, is there a better solution than manual download??

Thanks in advance, and thanks for RailsAssets!

It's not possible to consume NPM packages. Rails Assets is only rubygems-bower proxy :)

I guess you can use something like: https://github.com/browserify-rails/browserify-rails

I did look into browserify-rails. The config and NPM setup was so complicated I prefer manual download. Thanks again for RailsAssets - very simple and it just works.
