Recommended way to include bootstrap library in Ember.JS ember-cli App

BASH:

bower install --save bootstrap

Brocfile.js:

/* global require, module */

...


app.import('bower_components/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css');
app.import('bower_components/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css.map', {
    destDir: 'assets'
});
app.import('bower_components/bootstrap/dist/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.eot', {
    destDir: 'fonts'
});
app.import('bower_components/bootstrap/dist/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.ttf', {
    destDir: 'fonts'
});
app.import('bower_components/bootstrap/dist/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.svg', {
    destDir: 'fonts'
});
app.import('bower_components/bootstrap/dist/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.woff', {
    destDir: 'fonts'
});
app.import('bower_components/bootstrap/dist/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.woff2', {
    destDir: 'fonts'
});

app.import('bower_components/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.js');

module.exports = app.toTree();

BASH:

bower install --save bootstrap

Brocfile.js:

app.import('vendor/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.js');
app.import('vendor/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css');

The JS will be added to the app.js, which is linked by default, and the CSS will be added to assets/vendor.css, which as of May 14th, is also added by default.

In response to @Joe's question surrounding fonts and other assets, I was unable to get the recommended app.import() method to work on the fonts. I instead opted for the merge-trees and static-compiler approach:

var mergeTrees = require('broccoli-merge-trees');
var pickFiles = require('broccoli-static-compiler');
var extraAssets = pickFiles('vendor/bootstrap/dist/fonts',{
    srcDir: '/', 
    files: ['**/*'],
    destDir: '/fonts'
});

module.exports = mergeTrees([app.toTree(), extraAssets]);

You might want to check out ember-bootstrap, which will import the bootstrap assets automatically.

ember install ember-bootstrap

Moreover it adds a suite of native ember components to your app, that make working with bootstrap features much easier in ember. Check it out, although I am a bit biased, as I am the author of it! ;)
