Better Grunt + Bower -> Removing Normalize.css from src/

[ericf]

This is a revamp of the Grunt + Bower setup to remove the need for checking Normalize.css into the src/ tree. As a result, forms-core.css has also been removed, because Pure really does depend on Normalize.css being on the page.

The Gruntfile has also been simplified, running grunt will install any Bower dependencies, run tests, and build Pure. The watch task first runs grunt (default), then observes changes and runs the test and build task, no Bower installing (so it's faster).

The also updates our npm dependencies to their latest versions.

Shouldn't this version be read from bower.json? I can imagine someone changing the version in bower.json and forgetting to change this value, too.

[ericf]

Yeah it should. But it's a race condition, I'm trying to figure out how to process this in a function or something, after normalize has been installed via bower.

[evocateur]

Hrm, yeah, that is a pickle, then.

So I created a bower-meta Grunt task which uses bower to load the metadata for all the Bower dependencies and add that data to Grunt's config object. But it makes the build take twice as long, 0.5sec to 1sec :( So I'm not sure this is going to be worth it.

grunt.registerTask('bower-meta', 'Make bower.json data available to Grunt.', function () {
    var bower = require('bower'),
        done  = this.async();

    bower.commands.list(null, {offline: true}).on('end', function (results) {
        var dependencies = results.dependencies;

        Object.keys(dependencies).forEach(function (name) {
            var dependency  = dependencies[name],
                meta        = dependency.pkgMeta,
                config      = {},
                bowerConfig = grunt.config.getRaw('bower') || {};

            if (!meta) {
                grunt.fatal('Bower dependency ' + name + ' not installed.');
            }

            config[name] = meta;

            // Merge dependency into `bower` config.
            grunt.config('bower', grunt.util._.merge(bowerConfig, config));
        });

        grunt.log.writeln('Loaded metadata for Bower packages.');
        done();
    });
});

Couldn't the version specified in bower.json be solidified and then read from there, just like the package.json is read? No more race condition, only one place to edit, though slightly more laborious (no semver squishiness, not sure that's a bad thing, though).

[ericf]

Yeah, I switch to doing that.

[tilomitra]

@ericf Did you want to hold this back for 0.3.0 instead of merging it in for 0.2.2?

[ericf]

@tilomitra correct, this is not a bug fix and is a pretty major change.
