API

bowerPathData()

Does nothing / placeholder for an async method.

bowerPathData.sync(startPath)

Returns an object containing bower path and directory name information, if available. Any values that could not be found will be returned with a value of null.

startPath

Type: String

A path to the directory to start looking for bower.json in.

If not found, ancestor directories will be searched until a match is found (using find-up) or the volume root is reached. From bower.json's location, .bowerrc will be searched for in the same way.

If .bowerrc is found, then bower-config will be used to read the configuration.

• If the directory property is a string, then the component directory path will be the result of running the rc file's path and the directory property through node's path.join method.
• Otherwise, the component directory path will be the result of running json file's path and the string bower_components through path.join().

The component directory name will then be retrieved from the component directory path.
