grunt-emo

A style-guide generator

A Node Style-guide Generator

grunt-emo is wrapper for emo-gen, a style-guide generator that runs on node. See emo-gen for more information.

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-emo --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-emo');

The "emo" task

Overview

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

grunt.initConfig({
    emo: {
        main: {
            options: {
                components: [
                    'src/assets/scss/**/*.scss'
                ]
            },
            files: [
                {
                    expand: true,
                    cwd: 'stylesguide/src/assets/',
                    src: ['**'],
                    dest: 'styleguide/dest/assets/'
                }
            ]
        }
    }
});

The files property

The files property is reserved for those files that should be copied to the style-guide destination path. Treat this as you would the files property of a grunt-contrib-copy task.

Options

options.path

Type: Object Default value: { src: 'styleguide/src/', dest: 'styleguide/dest/' }

Paths used by the style-guide generator.

options.path.src

Type: String Default value: styleguide/src/

The location the styleguide source code is to be placed.

options.path.dest

Type: String Default value: styleguide/dest/

The location the styleguide will build to.

options.components

Type: Array Default value: []

A list of files that should be scraped for documentation. See documentation syntax for more details.

Example:

grunt.initConfig({
    emo: {
        main: {
            options: {
                components: [
                    'src/assets/scss/**/*.scss'
                ]
            }
        }
    }
});

options.views

Type: String Default value: undefined

A relative path from the root of the style-guide source directory (styleguide/src/ by default). emo-gen will treat all the .html files within the viewDir as static pages, building each one using Nunjucks api.

Example:

grunt.initConfig({
    emo: {
        main: {
            options: {
                views: 'views'
            }
        }
    }
});

Usage Examples

Default Options

grunt.initConfig({
    emo: {
        main: {
            options: {
                components: [
                    'src/assets/scss/**/*.scss'
                ],
                views: 'views'
            },
            files: [
                {
                    expand: true,
                    cwd: '_styleguide/assets/',
                    src: ['**'],
                    dest: 'styleguide/assets/'
                }
            ]
        }
    }
});

Custom Options

Below, emo is configured to output the style-guide as well as its source in a custom location.

grunt.initConfig({
    emo: {
        main: {
            options: {
                path: {
                    src: 'custom/path/',
                    dest: 'path/to/styleguide/'
                },
                components: [
                    'src/assets/scss/**/*.scss'
                ]
            },
            files: [
                {
                    expand: true,
                    cwd: '_styleguide/assets/',
                    src: ['**'],
                    dest: 'styleguide/assets/'
                }
            ]
        }
    }
});

Contributing

In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint and test your code using Grunt.
