How to deal with bower_components in production?

Question

Work organization

Where to put the bower_components folder when building a project? After all, the paths to the files that are contained in it are written in html files. Give the folder along with the production version?
PS I use GulpJs to build the project

Answer 1

Just do not give it away if you are building a project (transformation, minification, etc.), because usually, all the necessary vendor scripts are collected in one vendor.js file. Although it is possible to download only the necessary files in bower, most often the entire branch of the project is merged, with all versions, tests, examples and documentation.

Answer 2

I never hesitated to give it like this... Or rename it to assets. Quite a reasonable option.
