grunt-dry: reusable grunt task configuration for modules

This is a simple package that pulls in a lot of boilerplate grunt logic for a reusable javascript module.

Getting Started

Install grunt and grunt-dry using NPM:

npm install --save-dev grunt grunt-dry

Then create a gruntfile.js containing:

module.exports = function(grunt) {
    grunt.initConfig({
        gruntDry: {
            pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json');
        }
    });

    grunt.task.loadNpmTasks('grunt-dry');
});

Then run the following grunt tasks:

grunt build

Uses grunt-pure-cjs to generate browser/<module_name>.js and browser/specs/*.spec.js by bundling the commonjs files into a single file for both the module itself and any mocha spec files.

Each file is generated using a umd wrapper so it can be loaded through a variety of front-end module systems.

grunt test

Runs unit tests using server-side mocha in node.js from specs/*.js and in browser using `browser/specs/*.js.

All tests are loaded using requirejs.

Managing Dependencies

If the module and/or the tests requires external dependencies, they should be included in the deps option of the grunt config. Each entry should contain a path to the browser build of the module as well as an optional flag to indicate if it is test-only.

For example the following configuration would indicate that the library depends on underscore and the tests also depend on chai:

deps: {
    'underscore': {
        browserBuild: 'node_modules/underscore/underscore.js'
    },
    'chai': {
        browserBuild: 'node_modules/chai/chai.js',
        testOnly: true
    }
}

See grunt-dry-test/gruntfile.js for a complete working example.

Options

The configuration supports the following options:

  • pkg: (required) package.json contents
  • root: Specifies the location of the grunt-dry task. The default is node_modules/grunt-dry.
  • sourceMap: If true, then the package will generate a source map when building the browser bundle.
