MS dropped support for bower_components and node_modules exclusion in .NET Core 1.0 RTM. The best I was able to achieve was just to exclude the /src folders so the publish size could be reduced.

Project.json (Excluding Bower Components SRC files)

"publishOptions": {
    "include": [
        "wwwroot",
        "Views",
        "Areas/**/Views/**",
        "appsettings.json",
        "web.config"
    ],
    "exclude": [ "wwwroot/**/src/**" ]
}

I too was looking for a way to exclude the wwwroot/lib directory from being published and I came across this post from Scott Hanselman. In the post he shows how to change the storage location of bower components (ex. from wwwroot/lib to /bower_components).

For me this removed the wwwroot/lib directory, so these libraries are no longer published. I just thought I would throw this here in case someone may be able to use it.

The wwwroot folder is treated differently. It is called a webroot. The content in this folder doesn't go through globbing during publish (see here). It is recommended that source code and output are put out of the webroot.

Do you have scenario that you have to store source codes and binaries in this folder?

Within the Project.json file it looks like you can specify which files you would like to exclude when publishing using the publishExclude property in the sources section. https://github.com/aspnet/Home/wiki/Project.json-file#sources
