Upgrading angular.js version used with yeoman

[Nicolas Laplante]

I initialized a new angular.js app with yeoman 0.9.6 and I noticed the angular version used is 1.0.1. Is there a way to use the latest angular version without relying on bower to install it? Using bower, I end up with angular 1.0.1 in app/scripts/vendor/angular.js and 1.0.3 in app/component. 

Also, if I install bower packages which depend on angular, could bower skip installing angular since the generator includes it automatically?

Thanks and sorry if those questions were answered before. I did a search and found nothing about it. Those are my first days with yeoman + angularjs.

Hi Nicolas,

I'm in the same boat as you.   I noticed that the angular generator (https://github.com/yeoman/generator-angular)  uses the correct version 1.0.4.

On my machine, the generator-angular just called angular is installed at:  /usr/local/lib/node_modules/yeoman/node_modules/yeoman-generators/lib/generators/angular   This is the version that installs the 1.0.1 angular in the /scripts/vendor directory.

I tried cloning the repo and running sudo npm -g install to install it, but it places it in the wrong node_modules directory, it loads it at: /usr/local/lib/node_modules/generator-angular

I suspect if we can figure out how to update the generator, it should give us the correct results.

I found this post in the yeoman-dev discussion.

It looks like it will be easier in 1.0...but it's not easy right now.   I'm still researching it.

I also found this:

https://groups.google.com/d/topic/yeoman-dev/5G9wAgtyZeg/discussion   which indicates that Yeoman will be released soon..

and this bug:  https://github.com/yeoman/generators/issues/131

which is referenced here:  https://groups.google.com/d/topic/yeoman-dev/Zyr8Dv3v6O0/discussion   which discusses keeping code updated.

Nice one there. Seems like it has been addressed and it will be fixed in next release. I'm going to delete the angular from vendor/ folder and use the bower dependency instead.

Thanks!

Nicolas, yes, if you just want to install angular 1.0.4,  you can just run 'yeoman install angular' and it will install angular 1.0.4. in the components directory for you.   I plan on doing the same.
