Yii2 Composer manage package in bower and bower-vendor

Question

I have been using yii2 for sometime now but i cant wrap my head around how to manage my packages. I have two issues in these regard.

1. when i add a package to yii

Answer 1

This is how we register booty assets.

namespace backend\assets;


use yii\web\AssetBundle;

class BootstrapAsset extends AssetBundle
{
    public $sourcePath = '@bower/bootstrap/dist';
    public $js         = [
        'js/bootstrap.min.js',
    ];
}

And Register this asset in your layout as:

$asset     = AppAsset::register($this);
$bootstrap = \backend\assets\BootstrapAsset::register($this);

Hope this will give a hint.
