An extension for searching Bower for front-end packages for use with CodePen and other apps like it.
TL;DR
Easily search Bower for external file links to use in CodePen, JSFiddle, JSBin demos.
----
When creating a new front-end demo in your preferred demo-creator web app, i.e. CodePen, JSFiddle, JSBin, etc, and you want to use an external JavaScript or CSS library that isn't bundled with that web app; what do you do?
- Leave the web app
- Search GitHub/Bower/NPM/CDN for that asset
- Find the right link to the asset
- Copy the url
- Come back to the web app
- Paste the asset url into the respective text input for external resources in the web app
It can get pretty tedious if you want to use a couple of different external resources for one demo.
How Resource Finder helps:
- In the web app, open extension popup
- type resource name
- click Copy-to-Clipboard button next to resource link
- Paste the resource url into the respective text input for external resources
Never leave the web app and always get the latest version of the resource.
Additional Features:
- autocomplete past searches
- caches last search results
Future Features:
- searches NPM (and other package repos?)
