How can one manage front-end library dependencies in Clojure?

I have a Clojure Ring/Compojure web project with Javascript front-end. I want to use Bootstrap CSS library for the front-end. Right now i'd download it and put into resources/public/lib/bootstrap. But it would be nice to manage JS/CSS libs similarly to :dependencies list in project.clj. How can this be achieved?

Thanks!

Solution

  • Bower fulfils my requirements. Prerequisites are installing Bower through NPM and lein-bower Leiningen plugin. Below are the configuration details I had to add to project.clj:

    :plugins [[lein-bower "0.5.1"]]
:bower-dependencies [[bootstrap "3.3.2"]]
:bower {:directory "resources/public/lib"}
