If I do not add it in bower.json then you can not run the demos locally unless you manually resolve angular-ui-bootstrap dependency. Why do you think it's wrong?

I have an app without bootstrap and my build scripts automatically include all bower dependencies (https://github.com/yeoman/generator-angular). This means that bootstrap UI is loaded into my app although it is not needed which breaks some components in the UI. I had to manually delete angular-ui-bootstrap from the package.json which will of course break if somebody else downloads the code for my app and installs the bower components.

Broke my build as well, because that particular dependency caused conflicts with the angular version. It uses angular < 1.3 instead of the 1.3.X series. Make it a dev dependency?

@domoritz and @mtraynham guys, let me know if it works for you.

I would have left the other dependencies in the dependencies section as they are requirements for this library. The angular-ui-bootstrap-bower dependency is only for this repo and demo purposes, thus it shouldn't be a requirement for an end-user to install. Also, there is a more supported version of angular-ui-bootstrap-bower which is just angular-ui-bootstrap.

The bower install angular-dragdrop command unnecessarily installs other dependencies in your project under bower_components/, now it will not because of devDependencies. And nobody needs angular-dragdrop's dependencies in production.

Not sure I follow. Say I have an empty project and I want my first dependency to be angular-dragdrop. So, I type bower install angular-dragdrop. If I was an ignorant user or used wiredep, this would only attach angular-dragdrop to the index page. angular nor jquery wouldn't be downloaded or attached because you didn't specify them as dependencies.

The angular-ui-bootstrap-bower is not a dependency for the end user, it is only a dev-dependency to showcase a running demo. Follow?

It is important for you to specify dependencies though as I may use angular 1.1.X and this library only supports 1.3.X (just an example).

As of that last change, I now have to include jquery-ui in my own bower.

Fully agree with @mtraynham. The only problem for my deployment was bootstrap. Without jquery and jqueryui as a dependency, dragdrop doesn't work.

Makes sense!

@codef0rmer are you making a new release?

@domoritz Yes.

Sweet. I shouldn't be so impatient ;-)

@domoritz hehe, done.
