Freight - Dependency Bundles for NPM and Bower

Freight

Dependency Bundles for NPM and Bower

Freight helps you:

• Bundle all your dependencies into a compressed archive.
• Avoid committing dependencies into project source.
• Speed up project and dependency installation.
• Speed up continuous integration and deployment.
• Stop relying on NPM and Bower registries.
• Avoid dependency installation issues during deployment.

Freight consists of two components - a tiny command line tool and a Freight Server that manages the dependencies.

See the Freight Documentation.

See the Freight Server README to help you setup a Freight Server.

Try it out

Install npm install -g freight.

Get the sample project:

git clone https://github.com/vladikoff/freight-sample.git && cd freight-sample

Run freight -u http://freight.vf.io, you will now have the NPM and Bower modules!

Visual Demo
