  dependencies : {
    'angular-stripe' : ['app/scripts/libs/stripe.js']
  }

});

Prioritize bower components

Some times components have dependencies. This will get listed as mention then the rest;

bower2array.prioritize(['angular', 'jquery', 'bootstrap']);

[
 'app/bower_components/../angular.js',
 'app/bower_components/../jquery.js',
 'app/bower_components/../bootstrap.js',
 ...
]

External dependencies

Some times components have external dependencies

bower2array.dependencies({
 'angular-stripe' : ['public/javascripts/vendor/stripe.js']
});

[
 'public/javascripts/vendor/stripe.js',
 '/bower_components/angular-stripe/release/angular-stripe.js'
]

Ignore bower components

bower2array.ignore(['jquery']);

[
 'app/bower_components/../angular.js',
 'app/bower_components/../bootstrap.js',
