How to find available versions for a bower dependency

Bower

Bower Problem Overview


Let's say I want to include the latest version of jquery-ui in my bower.json. Is there any way of finding out which versions are available?

I see that I can find available components on http://sindresorhus.com/bower-components/#!/search/jquery-ui but there doesn't seem to be any mention of versions.

Solution 1 - Bower

You can use info command to get information

for example:

Open a terminal and type

bower info jquery-ui

You will get a list of available versions as well

BTW: You can search via your terminal with:

bower search jquery-ui

Solution 2 - Bower

Try bower-update. It will check for updates and allow you to update packages one-by-one.

From it's own description:

> Updates Bower project’s components to the really latest versions, no matter what bower.json requires.

Solution 3 - Bower

In case you are working with IntelliJ IDEA (or WebStorm), you can use its bower plugin to browse through through all available components find out their latest version:

It also offers a nice tabular view displaying current vs. latest versions of your installed components.
