until: 5.0.0

Please consider one of the following alternatives:

  1. Install the package via the npm registry and use ember-auto-import to import the package into your project
  2. If alternative 1 is not an option, you could copy the contents of the Bower package into the /vendor folder and use app.import to import the package into your project

Project::bowerDependencies

until: 5.0.0
id: ember-cli.project.bower-dependencies

bowerDependencies has been deprecated. If you still need access to the project's Bower dependencies, you will have to manually resolve the project's bower.json file instead:

'use strict';

const fs = require('fs-extra');
const path = require('path');

module.exports = {
  name: require('./package').name,

  included() {
    this._super.included.apply(this, arguments);

    let bowerPath = path.join(this.project.root, 'bower.json');
    let bowerJson = fs.existsSync(bowerPath) ? require(bowerPath) : {};
    let bowerDependencies = {
      ...bowerJson.dependencies,
      ...bowerJson.devDependencies,
    };

    // Do something with `bowerDependencies`.
  },
};

Project::bowerDirectory

until: 5.0.0
id: ember-cli.project.bower-directory

bowerDirectory has been deprecated. If you still need access to the project's Bower directory, you will have to manually resolve the project's .bowerrc file and read the directory property instead:

'use strict';

const fs = require('fs-extra');
const path = require('path');

module.exports = {
  name: require('./package').name,

  included() {
    this._super.included.apply(this, arguments);

    let bowerConfigPath = path.join(this.project.root, '.bowerrc');
    let bowerConfigJson = fs.existsSync(bowerConfigPath) ? fs.readJsonSync(bowerConfigPath) : {};
    let bowerDirectory = bowerConfigJson.directory || 'bower_components';

    // Do something with `bowerDirectory`.
  },
};
