bootstrap-timepicker.css don't install as part of bower package

I install bootstrap-timepicker as bower package bower install bootstrap-timepicker But css folder contains only timepicker.less

How can linked to bootstrap-timepicker.css without compiling less to css in client? I think it’s a good practice to include in bower package all files that ready for deploy

@mrhota Why do you say it’s not a good practice to keep built js and css in source repos?

1. It’s not nice to force developers to install a LESS preprocessor/JS minifier if they just want to download a ready-to-go built version of your project (not everybody use Grunt and bower)
2. It allows for easy inclusion of built files in a project via bower (let’s say a dev choose Sass instead of Less for his project… He don’t want to switch to LESS just to include a lib… and he don’t even want to cd into the repo to build things)
3. You can use a git hook to build the project before to push upstream, so every build belongs to their commit…
4. In this way you let GIT make what’s meant for: version your code - even the builds
5. Everybody’s doing it - and these are the reasons

😉

very true @mrhota, here’s to hoping Bower team fix up this issue. However, probably still a good idea for you to include it - as not everyone is compiling their dependencies, and if they are, those people will ignore your minified artifact anyway. better to meet the demands of all of your customers 😉 @ public in the mean time, use online tools like https://jscompress.com/ , http://less2css.org/ , https://cssminifier.com/ , to get your file.
