## What it is
A Node.js library that injects Bower package dependencies (JS and CSS files) into source files between placeholder comments, in correct dependency order. It works standalone, via CLI, or as a stream in Gulp/Grunt build pipelines.

## Use cases
- inject bower dependencies into index.html automatically
- add script tags for bower components in dependency order
- wire bower css and js into my source files
- gulp task to inject bower scripts into html
- programmatically get ordered list of bower dependency files
- replace manual script tag management for bower packages

## When to choose
- you maintain a legacy project still using Bower for front-end dependency management
- you need automatic, order-correct injection of Bower package files into HTML or other source files
- you use Gulp or Grunt and want Bower wiring integrated into your build

## When to avoid
- you use npm, yarn, webpack, Vite, or modern bundlers with import statements instead of Bower
- you are starting a new project - Bower is deprecated
- you need dependency injection for non-Bower package managers

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: build-tool, developer-tools, package-manager
- domain: web-development, frontend, developer-tools
- platform: cli
- tags: bower, dependency-injection, gulp, grunt, script-injection, legacy, automation, nodejs
