Answer 1

With Bower you need to use npm preen to remove unnecessary files

See my example using Gulp with Ionic Framework: https://github.com/jdnichollsc/Ionic-Starter-Template

Basically you can set your bower.json file to indicate the path which files you need, for example:

"preen": {
    //... More libraries
    "ionic-datepicker": [
        "dist/*.js" //You only need these files
        //Other files and folders will be deleted to reduce the size of your app
    ],
    "ion-floating-menu": [
        "dist/*" //Keep all the files (.html, .css, .js, etc) of the directory.
    ]
}
