Ember addPackageToProject or addBowerPackageToProject












1















In an Ember app, I wanted to understand how addPackageToProject or addBowerPackageToProject exactly works ?



e.g. this.addPackageToProject('moment')


I understand this would update the package.json or bower.json of the host/parent app by adding 'moment' as a dependency.
But does it also run npm install or bower install commands after that ?

Yes the install command is run automatically if you use ember install <addon-name>. In general, the simplest way to figure out the answer to a question like yours is to actually just look at the source code on github.



Inspecting ember install <addon-name> we can see that essentially equates to:



npm install <addon-name> --save-dev
ember generate <addon-name>


The generate <addon-name> is going to run the addon's blueprint, which contains the addPackageToProject, which ultimately invokes:



addPackagesToProject(packages) {
let task = this.taskFor('npm-install');
...//builds packageArray
return task.run({
'save-dev': true,
verbose: false,
packages: packageArray,
});
}


The npm-install will run the install command(but actually first determines if you are using yarn or npm). So if you are using npm, you'll end up with a command looking like npm install --save-dev
