layout type don't work

[zhyq0826]

when I set layout=bytype, it copy component like this:

├── bootstrap
│   ├── bootstrap.css
│   ├── bootstrap.js
│   ├── bootstrap.less
│   ├── glyphicons-halflings-regular.eot
│   ├── glyphicons-halflings-regular.svg
│   ├── glyphicons-halflings-regular.ttf
│   └── glyphicons-halflings-regular.woff

then I set layout=byComponet, it copy component still like before that, it should like this

├── bootstrap
│   ├──css
│   ├── fonts
│   ├── js

why it doesn't work?

I am having a similar issue. When I created a custom layout function I was able to see that value for type is always untyped.

Okay, I finally figured out the answer at #147

My project is using sails with sails-generate-bower

Set the layout to byComponent, then
edit the bower.json under project directory, append exportsOverride like this:

{
  ...
  "dependencies": {
    "bootstrap": "~3.3.1"
  },
  "exportsOverride": {
    "bootstrap": {
      "css": "dist/css/*.css",
      "js": "dist/js/bootstrap*.js",
      "fonts": "dist/fonts/*.*"
    }
  }
}

It works like a charm

Weirdly it changed for me when i switched to choosing the directory using bowerOptions > directory rather than targetDir.

With targetDir i had a flat structire in my deps and without it is ordered just as in the repo representing the dep.
