## bower

### Some bower packages not being injected?

>I have had a bit of trouble with the wiredep / bower setup as it will bring in some of my "dependencies": but not all of them.

Some bower packages do not have the correct metadata. To be automatically injected a bower package needs the "main" property defined in its bower.json. You can either

- Pull request the repo and add the correct metadata.
- Use the [unofficial "overrides" option](https://github.com/ck86/main-bower-files#overrides-options) in bower.json
```js
{
    "overrides": {
        "BOWER-PACKAGE": {
            "main": ['js/file.js']
        }
    }
}
```

## manifest.json file

### Strange [object Object] before file name

While overriding "paths" key inside `manifest.json` file you can't use any custom objects.

Don't try to do:
```
{
  "paths": {
    "source": {
      "whatever": "src/somenthing",
      "whtever2": "src/something_else"
    }
  }
}
```

If you need to define paths in structure mentioned above (and any custom options) you have to use "config" key.

```
{
  "config": {
    "source": {
      "whatever": "src/somenthing",
      "whtever2": "src/something_else"
    }
  }
}
```
