ASP.NET Core 1.0.0 Nuget Dependency issue

Question

Using Visual Studio 2015 Update 3, I created a new ASP.NET Core project (database first). For the client side I needed a lot of javascript libraries like angular, ui-select, select2, breadcrumb, metismenu, gritter, etc. I know some of them are included using Bower package manager but some can only be found using NuGet package manager. Also NuGet has newer versions of packages. So I installed what I was able to find using Bower and then I added the rest using NuGet. After install here is the folders structure:

Under the Dependency folder you can see a sub-folder for Bower but not for Nuget. I can see the javascript libraries installed with Bower in wwwroot/lib folder but I don't know where are the libraries installed via NuGet. I know that in previous version of ASP the NuGet packages for client were installed in "Content" and "Scripts" folders but since ASP.Net added a "wwwroot" folder they should be put here. Bellow is my project.json file:

How can I refer client libraries installed via NuGet in ASP.NET Core? What path should I use?
