Gulp wiredep excluding jquery from being injected

Question

I'm using wiredep to inject the scripts but I don't want jquery being injected. I'm using wiredep exclude option to exclude jquery but it does get injected. How can I exclude jquery from being injected by wiredep. Below is the bower.json

    "bootstrap": "^3.3.7",
    "angular-strap": "^2.3.12"
  }
}

here is the gulpfile.js

"use strict"

var gulp = require('gulp'),
    jshint = require('gulp-jshint'),
    stylish = require('jshint-stylish'),
    wiredep = require('wiredep').stream,
    paths = {
        js:['./app/client/js/**/*.js','./app/client/app.js','./app/server/**/*.js']
    };

gulp.task('jshint',function(){
    return gulp.src(paths.js)
           .pipe(jshint())
           .pipe(jshint.reporter(stylish));
})    


var wiredepOptions = {  
  directory: 'app/client/public/vendor',
  exclude: ['jquery']
};


// Inject Bower components
gulp.task('wiredep', function () {

    gulp.src(['app/client/public/index.html'])
        .pipe(wiredep({wiredepOptions}))
        .pipe(gulp.dest('build'));    
});

Got it , wiredepOptions is already an object I was wrapping it inside an object. Just passed the wiredepOptions object directly, it worked. My bad.
