Grunt Export

Import javascript dependencies and export to file using NodeImport. Like a concat plugin, but it's accept inline files. So we don't need to define all files in grunt config, also not only append the next scripts into previous scripts. We can import files even though the import statement is inside a function block function() {}.

Since the basic function of NodeImport is to execute scripts, you also can run scripts using this plugin, but it's not a main function of this plugin.

Reads the NodeImport to find out how the import and export works.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.5 and NodeImport ~0.1.3.

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-export --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-export');

The "export" task
