Scoped NPM packages

[dfsq]

I know as as of version 1 angular-ui-bootstrap npm package is distributed with src directory, which allows bundling of individual modules. This is nice. However, what do you guys think about scoped npm packages per module?

Basically publishing individual modules as packages, packed as UMD module (along with possible dependencies, HTML and CSS):

• @angular-ui-bootstrap/accordion
• @angular-ui-bootstrap/alert
• @angular-ui-bootstrap/buttons
• etc.

Then it would allow individual packages to be installed as

npm install @angular-ui-bootstrap/tooltip

and used as

import uibTooltip from '@angular-ui-bootstrap/tooltip'

angular.module('app', [uibTooltip])

I think i would be really convenient. What do you guys think?

This sounds like an awesome idea - what do you think @Foxandxss?

I wanted that for ngbs for sure but I never thought about doing to for uibs.

whynot ¯_(ツ)_/¯

It may be unrelated question to this topic/issue but wanted to ask. We were using version 0.14.3 and wanted to upgrade to 1.3.3. However, using npm install it does not give us minified versions and we need to copy manually minified versions. The process is automated and we would like to avoid manually copying min versions. Any options to resolve this issue, or maybe adding min files to the npm repo?

Thanks

Normally you minify all external dependencies as well, that is why we decided not to give a minified version.

[radovanradic]

Yes, that works too. I just hoped we could use minified version, since got used to it in prev version and different other libs we use have minified version so we just bundle third part minified libs into one common file. But, as you said, we can just minify source file before concat all the files together.

Thanks
