使用Bower安装单个插件

Question

I'm looking at the d3-plugins repository and I want to install only the horizon chart plugin.

At the moment my bower.json file has this entry:

"d3-plugins": "*"

But this will install the entire repo containing all the other plugins as well.
Is there a way I can specify bower to install only one subdirectory of a project?

Answer 1

This is probably not optimal, but you can point bower directly to the horizon.js URL:

"dependencies":{
    "d3-plugins-horizon": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/d3/d3-plugins/master/horizon/horizon.js"
}
