grunt-anybar

Grunt plugin to show the current build status in the AnyBar menu app.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.5

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-anybar --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-anybar');

The "anybar" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named anybar to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  anybar: {
    start: {
      options: {
        // Task-specific options go here.
      }
    },
    finish: {
      options: {
        // Task-specific options go here.
      }
    }
  },
});

Last but not least, run the specific start and the finish task at the first and at the end of your grunt.registerTask() invocation:

grunt.registerTask('default', [ 'anybar:start', 'copy', 'sass:build', 'autoprefixer', 'concat', 'uglify', 'imagemin', 'jscs', 'phplint', 'anybar:finish' ]);
grunt.registerTask('dev', [ 'anybar:start', 'copy', 'connect', 'watch', 'anybar:finish' ]);

Usage Examples

Default Options

In the example below, with default options, the plugin uses the default UDP port 1738 to talk to AnyBar.

grunt.initConfig({
  anybar: {
    start: {
      options: {
        status: 'yellow'
      }
    },
    finish: {
      options: {
        status: 'green'
      }
    }
  },
});

Custom Options

In case you use a different port you can pass the port option:

grunt.initConfig({
  anybar: {
    start: {
      options: {
        status: 'yellow',
        port: 1739
      }
    },
    finish: {
      options: {
        status: 'green',
        port: 1739
      }
    }
  },
});
