How can I serve NPM packages using Flask?

Question

I have a small Flask app which currently sources jQuery and highlight.js from external servers. I\'d like to make these local dependencies which I pull in via NPM.

maybe a bit late for the answer, but the easiest way to do it is by doing this:

sudo npm install bower
echo "bower_components/" >> .gitignore
bower install -S (here goes whatever you want)
npm init

Then you fill out the prompt, and you'll have a few new files:

• bower.json, which is generated by bower to manage dependencies. Using bower install -S (your dependency) will update this file with your new dependencies.
• package.json, created by npm to manage your project and npm dependencies
• node_modules, the things you installed with npm
• bower_components/ which is where all of your front end dependencies live.
