define asset-type properties

[necolas]

for example: styles, scripts, fonts, images. without these, it makes life difficult for tools to have any useful information that defines the component contents

[apobbati]

Any takers on this?

[benschwarz]

Yeah… it feels like we've covered this many times… my only concern is if we reserve certain keys, what should they be?

Packages probably shouldn't be shipping un-compiled (scss, less, coffeescript assets) because they're not immediately useful to anyone.

Perhaps we aim for anything that can be directly linked from a HTML document. That is:

images, fonts, videos, stylesheets and scripts…

I agree that it would be useful to have more granular information about assets.

@benschwarz, I disagree with this statement:

Packages probably shouldn't be shipping un-compiled (scss, less, coffeescript assets) because they're not immediately useful to anyone.

There are very good use cases for compiling scripts, modules, scss, etc. in the context of the application's source code. Therefore, I wouldn't limit the list to compiled assets.

[benschwarz]

@unscriptable Ok. Lets not have that argument in this thread though ⛵

Closing here and moving to new issue #47.
