bower-config

The Bower config (.bowerrc) reader and writer.

Bower can be configured using JSON in a .bowerrc file. For example:

{
  "directory": "app/components/",
  "timeout": 120000,
  "registry": {
    "search": [
      "http://localhost:8000",
      "https://registry.bower.io"
    ]
  }
}

View the complete .bowerrc specification on the website for more details. Both the bower.json and .bowerrc specifications are maintained at github.com/bower/spec.
