lookup paths about component HOT 17 CLOSED

this is one of the reasons we can't really use component for out app right now, do you think this could be implemented soon?

yup definitely one of the issues. Our app has regular node modules in ./node_modules and our private ones in ./lib and we use NODE_PATH, but since everything in our ./lib right now are components we'll eventually need to migrate over to component.json and have a similar lookup path mechanism

+1 this is also a big one for me

from component.

in component.json:

{
  "path" : ["lib"]
}

this could be called path, private, bundle, internal...

from component.

Right now the Package module in component is depending on superagent, which means it is tied up with HTTP, maybe it can be abstracted away, making Package protocol agnostic, and this feature pretty easy to implement in many ways?

from component.

need some tests still but this sort of idea should work now:

$ COMPONENT_PATH=../components
$ component build

with

"bundled": ["foo", "bar"]

I really want to change bundled though I dont like that name at all, local ? i dont know

from component.

merveilleux ! merci !
local does sound better than bundled...
private?

from component.

thank you thank you! I like local.

hmm if you're running component build in that app dir COMPONENT_PATH=ui should be fine

from component.

and then say bundled ["foo", "bar"] where those are ui/{foo,bar}

from component.

ahh shit, trying to update and accidentally deleted my last post... :-x

anyway, updated:

directory:

/app
  /components
  /ui (private components)
    /inbox
    /group-list
  component.json

component.json

{
  "name" : "app",
  "dependencies" : {
    "matthewmueller/backbone" : "*"
  },
  "bundled" : [ "inbox", "group-list" ]
}

terminal:

$ app : echo $COMPONENT_PATH
ui
$ app : DEBUG=* component build

debug info:

component:builder lookup check $PROJECT/app/components/inbox +0ms
component:builder lookup group-list +0ms
component:builder lookup check $PROJECT/app/components/group-list
...
component:builder ignore "inbox" styles +0ms
component:builder ignore "group-list" styles +0ms

from component.

oh one thing about these "ui" components is that they don't follow the naming convention username/repo, just inbox and group-list. Not sure if that would matter here..

from component.

hmm that should be fine still, I only did one quick test, I'll add some real tests later tonight

from component.

okay no problem, thanks man.
