bower.json question

[pitrackster]

Hi !
I'm currently trying to use wavesurfer with webpack / ES6 / angular...
I have a problem with the folder name created via the bower command (ie wavesurfer.js) because webpack search for a file named wavesurfer.js but find a folder so it get stuck...

If I change the name of the folder (removing the .js) it works ...

So I am wondering if it is possible to change the package name so that it will not create a folder with .js ?

You should be able to work aroind this issur in webpack, there's no chance the folder name is going to get changed anytime soon, just to accomodate webpack functionality

@pitrackster you can add an alias in your webpack config file

module.exports = {
  resolve: {
    alias: {
      'wavesurfer': path.resolve(__dirname, './node_modules/wavesurfer.js/dist/wavesurfer.js')
    }
  }
}

then you'll be able to

import wavesurfer from 'wavesurfer'

Note for the maintainers: this comment may constitute a minimal How-to with Webpack in the main README.md.
