How to find available versions for a bower dependency
BowerBower 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.
Bower Solutions
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.
