Overview
- Added this to attempt to standardize the assets that are used by openemr.
- Assets that are collected via bower are stored at public/assets; note this location is flexible since we are not sure where we will be storing these in the future as migrate to MVC architecture.
- The path is set to a global ($GLOBALS['assets_static_relative']) here in the codebase(so the path will be easy to change in the future) and also would need to be changed in the .bowerrc file):
- https://github.com/openemr/openemr/commit/b63b0da6a5eae6f8051234bff104a06cb37db167
- (also see above commit for a example on using the global/path)
- Incorporating the versions in the paths of the libraries. Using "ignoredDependencies" in .bowerrc file to ignore sub-dependencies which makes things messy(would bring in paths without versions of which would be a redundant library).

Add New Asset
- Add entry to the bower.json file.
- 'bower install' command
- Remove .gitignore and .gitattributes files(if they are present) from the installed package.
Questions
- Development is ongoing for this project:
- Ideal directory for this stuff (this is why we have made it flexible so can easily change this in the future)
- Ideal syntax of the bower openemr package
- Use this only for front-end libraries (css/js)?
- Use composer for back-end libraries? If so, use separate directory?
- Should we be using bower for this or is it better to manually bring in packages in a standard fashion? And for packages that are not offered via bower, should we add a manually-added directory for these?
