Bower

Bower allows developers to control what assets are loaded and when, while at the same time dealing with their dependencies automatically.

It can be used for on-demand loading of images, HTML, CSS and JavaScript files.

Instructions on how to setup packages and how to load them are provided with Bower's README file.
