bower uninstall --remove should remove dependencies from component.json?

[codylindley]

I might be missing why this is not possible, but shouldn't there be a flag --remove since we can have a flag that --save's? When I uninstall, I want it to update component.json as well.

--save should work also for uninstall.

[codylindley]

You mean it should or it does?

[satazor]

It's implemented, therefore it should work. If it doesn't then we got a bug.

[codylindley]

Nods. Gotcha. Thank you for clarifying that. I must have missed that part in the docs.

Just for reference you can get the help for each comand with bower [command] -h.

$ bower install jplayer
..works, but..
$ bower uninstall jplayer -S
bower not-installed 'jplayer' cannot be uninstalled as it is not currently installed
..doesnt, while..
$ bower uninstall jPlayer -S
bower uninstall jPlayer
..works, its like its written, so it makes sense..
..but the installation should also only work case-sensitive, dont you think?

Delete the dependencies from your bower.json file, then run bower prune, and the dependencies will be deleted from the bower_components folder.

You can do the same for your NPM modules, by running npm prune.

Easy solution

Delete the dependency including only and exclusively the name of the dependency.

That's OK > bower uninstall bootstrap --save 👍

This is wrong > bower uninstall bootstrap#v4.0.0-beta --save 👎

This will delete the folder and the dependency.
