如何在ng-boilerplate中包含CDN托管的库？

Question

I want to add the CDN-hosted Firebase Javascript file to my application based on ng-boilerplate.

I tried just adding it to vendor_files in build.config.js, but it isn't included in the output index.html - maybe because it can't find the file locally?

The application works if I add it to the index.html template directly, but that's unclean and breaks the tests.

Is there a way to add external files to ng-boilerplate or modify the Gruntfile to add them?

Answer 1

According to the docs,

the vendor_files.js property holds files to be automatically concatenated and minified with our project source files.

so that won't work. According to Kato's link, it's still under consideration for v0.4.

Answer 2

Have you looked into angularfire ?

As for having the files hosted from firebase cdn, add the following right after (or before) the google plus script:

<script src="//cdn.firebase.com/v0/firebase.js"></script>
<script src="//cdn.firebase.com/libs/angularfire/0.5.0/angularfire.min.js"></script>
