Nice, thanks @benschwarz! Also, if you want to completely replace the asset pipeline with Bower & Grunt check out Half Pipe.

Its also worth noting that some bower packages haven't defined the main attribute in the package definition file (thats bower.json) — in that case, you'll need to require them by a more complete path.

So instead of:

//= require jquery-placeholder

You'll need to use a more complete path to the library:

//= require jquery-placeholder/jquery.placeholder.js

FYI, I've been filing pull requests (1, 2, 3) for packages as I come across them. Until bower implements package validation, we're boned.

Is it possible somehow to use images with rails pipeline from the components?
