Dependencies. For example, Backbone depends on Underscore, and simply writing <script src="underscore.js"/><script src="backbone.js"/> encodes nothing about that fact. There's nothing stopping you updating Backbone to say a 2.0 that requires features in Underscore 2.0, but forgetting to update Underscore. On the other hand, bower update backbone will see dependencies: {"underscore": "^2.0"} in bower.js and update Underscore as well.
- sphildreth 12y agoIs it something like NuGet for .NET packages but for Javascript? Does that mean that an ASP.NET MVC application using NuGet wouldn't really have any "need" for Bower?
- atonse 12y agoIt's similar but for you to not "need" bower but get the same from NuGet, you'd have to make sure that every JS library you need is on NuGet.
