Documentation

Configuration

Inside your Gruntfile.js file add a section named fileregexrename. This section specifies the files to rename, destinations, patterns and replacements.

Parameters

files object

This defines what files this task will edit and must follow Gruntfile Files mapping.

options object

This controls how this task operates and should contain key:value pairs, see options below.

Options

replacements array

This option will hold all your pattern/replacement pairs. A pattern/replacement pair should contain key:value pairs containing:

• pattern string or regex
• replacement string

options: {
  replacements: [{
    pattern: /\/(asdf|qwer)\//ig,
    replacement: "'$1'"
  }, {
    pattern: ",",
    replacement: ";"
  }]
}

Note

If the pattern is a string, only the first occurrence will be replaced, as stated on String.prototype.replace.
