# Bower {#sec-bower}
[Bower](https://bower.io) is a package manager for web site front-end components. Bower packages (comprising of build artifacts and sometimes sources) are stored in `git` repositories, typically on Github. The package registry is run by the Bower team with package metadata coming from the `bower.json` file within each package.
The end result of running Bower is a `bower_components` directory which can be included in the web app's build process.
Bower can be run interactively, by installing `nodePackages.bower`. More interestingly, the Bower components can be declared in a Nix derivation, with the help of `bower2nix`.
## bower2nix usage {#ssec-bower2nix-usage}
Suppose you have a `bower.json` with the following contents:
### Example bower.json {#ex-bowerJson}
```json
"name": "my-web-app",
"dependencies": {
"angular": "~1.5.0",
"bootstrap": "~3.3.6"
}
```
Running `bower2nix` will produce something like the following output:
```nix
{ fetchbower, buildEnv }:
buildEnv {
name = "bower-env";
ignoreCollisions = true;
paths = [
(fetchbower "angular" "1.5.3" "~1.5.0" "1749xb0firxdra4rzadm4q9x90v6pzkbd7xmcyjk6qfza09ykk9y")
(fetchbower "bootstrap" "3.3.6" "~3.3.6" "1vvqlpbfcy0k5pncfjaiskj3y6scwifxygfqnw393sjfxiviwmbv")
(fetchbower "jquery" "2.2.2" "1.9.1 - 2" "10sp5h98sqwk90y4k6hbdviwqzvzwqf47r3r51pakch5ii2y7js1")
];
}
```
Using the `bower2nix` command line arguments, the output can be redirected to a file. A name like `bower-packages.nix` would be fine.
The resulting derivation is a union of all the downloaded Bower packages (and their dependencies). To use it, they still need to be linked together by Bower, which is where `buildBowerComponents` is useful.
## buildBowerComponents function {#ssec-build-bower-components}
The function is implemented in [pkgs/development/bower-modules/generic/default.nix](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/development/bower-modules/generic/default.nix).
### Example buildBowerComponents {#ex-buildBowerComponents}
```nix
{
bowerComponents = buildBowerComponents {
name = "my-web-app";
generated = ./bower-packages.nix; # note 1
src = myWebApp; # note 2
};
}
```
In ["buildBowerComponents" example](#ex-buildBowerComponents) the following arguments are of special significance to the function:
1. `generated` specifies the file which was created by {command}`bower2nix`.
2. `src` is your project's sources. It needs to contain a {file}`bower.json` file.
`buildBowerComponents` will run Bower to link together the output of `bower2nix`, resulting in a `bower_components` directory which can be used.
Here is an example of a web frontend build process using `gulp`. You might use `grunt`, or anything else.
### Example build script (gulpfile.js) {#ex-bowerGulpFile}
```javascript
var gulp = require('gulp');
gulp.task('default', [], function () {
gulp.start('build');
});
gulp.task('build', [], function () {
console.log("Just a dummy gulp build");
gulp
.src(["./bower_components/**/*"])
.pipe(gulp.dest("./gulpdist/"));
});
```
### Example Full example — default.nix {#ex-buildBowerComponentsDefaultNix}
```nix
{
myWebApp ? {
outPath = ./.;
name = "myWebApp";
},
pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> { },
}:
pkgs.stdenv.mkDerivation {
name = "my-web-app-frontend";
src = myWebApp;
buildInputs = [ pkgs.nodePackages.gulp ];
bowerComponents = pkgs.buildBowerComponents {
# note 1
name = "my-web-app";
generated = ./bower-packages.nix;
src = myWebApp;
};
nativeBuildInputs = [
writableTmpDirAsHomeHook # note 3
];
buildPhase = ''
runHook preBuild
cp --reflink=auto --no-preserve=mode -R $bowerComponents/bower_components . # note 2
${pkgs.nodePackages.gulp}/bin/gulp build # note 4
runHook postBuild
'';
installPhase = ''
runHook preInstall
mv gulpdist $out
runHook postInstall
'';
}
```
A few notes about [Full example — `default.nix`](#ex-buildBowerComponentsDefaultNix):
1. The result of `buildBowerComponents` is an input to the frontend build.
2. Whether to symlink or copy the {file}`bower_components` directory depends on the build tool in use.
In this case, a copy is used to avoid {command}`gulp` silliness with permissions.
3. {command}`gulp` requires `HOME` to refer to a writeable directory.
4. The actual build command in this example is {command}`gulp`. Other tools could be used instead.
## Troubleshooting {#ssec-bower2nix-troubleshooting}
### ENOCACHE errors from buildBowerComponents {#enocache-errors-from-buildbowercomponents}
This means that Bower was looking for a package version which doesn't exist in the generated `bower-packages.nix`.
If `bower.json` has been updated, then run `bower2nix` again.
It could also be a bug in `bower2nix` or `fetchbower`. If possible, try reformulating the version specification in `bower.json`.

- `mono4` and `mono5` have been removed. Use `mono6` or `mono` instead.
- Everything related to `bower` was removed, as it is deprecated and not used by anything in nixpkgs.
- The `offrss` package was removed due to lack of upstream maintenance since 2012. It's recommended for users to migrate to another RSS reader
- `installShellFiles`: Allow installManPage to take a piped input, add the `--name` flag for renaming the file when installed. Can also append `--` to opt-out of all subsequent parsing.
