Setup Zendframework 2 and twitter bootstrap using Composer

I am currently using composer dependency manager for zendframework 2 along with twitter bootstrap , I able to successfully manage zendframework 2 but I am not able manage twitter bootstrap via composer .

The problem is composer downloads twitter bootstrap library to vender directory . This is not feasible I need composer to download twitter bootstrap to public folder and zendframework to vender folder . how to achieve this

Below is the current composer.json file that I am using . 

    {
        "name": "zendframework/skeleton-application",
        "description": "Skeleton Application for ZF2",
        "license": "BSD-3-Clause",
        "keywords": [
            "framework",
            "zf2"
        ],
        "homepage": "http://framework.zend.com/",
        "require": {
            "php": ">=5.3.3",
            "zendframework/zendframework": "2.*",
            "twitter/bootstrap":"2.*"
        },
        "extra": {
        "installer-paths": {
            "public/bootstrap/": ["twitter/bootstrap", "twitter/bootstrap"],
            "vender/zendframework" : ["zendframework/zendframework" ,"zendframework/zendframework"]
            }
         }  
}

I am new to composer Please kindly suggest correct way of specifying path for each required library in composer.json file ,

The above code is throwing error as invalid format .

After trying every approach I posted the issue on github composer repository , Below is the link

Setup Zendframework 2 and twitter bootstrap using Composer

@Seldaek have closed the issue , by responding to that issue , As per his comments

Composer is not made to download front end dependencies at the moment. His suggested solution to manage twitter bootstrap is to use Bower a Browser package manager from twitter .

Bower is also a good tool to use for managing all sort of front end packages and keep it up to date in your project, . I tried and I was successful in managing twitter boot strap and other JS libraries .

I just decided to post this to help others who are also searching solution for the same problem ,

This posting definitely helps others to decide on process to follow for managing front end libraries in projects .

You need a custom installer to install to a different path
