    "gulp-npm-dist": "^0.1.2",
    "pump": "^1.0.1"
  }
}

var gulp = require('gulp');
var npmDist = require('gulp-npm-dist');

// Copy dependencies to ./public/libs/
gulp.task('copy:libs', function() {
  gulp.src(npmDist(), {base:'./node_modules'})
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./public/libs'));
});

Usage with gulp-rename

var gulp = require('gulp');
var npmDist = require('gulp-npm-dist');
var rename = require('gulp-rename');

gulp.task('copy:libs', function() {
    gulp.src(npmDist(), {base:'./node_modules/'})
        .pipe(rename(function(path) {
            path.dirname = path.dirname.replace(/\/dist/, '').replace(/\\dist/, '');
        }))
        .pipe(gulp.dest('./public/libs'));
});

gulp.task('copy:libs', function () {
    gulp.src(npmDist({ 
        nodeModulesPath: '../',
        packageJsonPath: 'bar/'
    }), { base: '../node_modules' })
        .pipe(gulp.dest('./public/libs'));
});
