Grunt: Hipchat Notifier

Send grunt messages to a Hipchat channel

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.1

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-hipchat-notifier --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-hipchat-notifier');

The "hipchat_notifier" task

Overview

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

grunt.initConfig({
  hipchat_notifier: {
 
    // You probably want to set your Hipchat options globally...
 
    options: {
      authToken: "", // Create an authToken at https://hipchat.com/admin/api
      roomId: "" // Numeric Hipchat roomId or room name
    },
 
    // Now create as many messages as you like!
 
    hello_grunt: {
      options: {
        message: "Hello!", // A message to send
        from: "Grunt", // Name for the sender
        color: "purple", // Color of the message
        message_format: "html" // Can either be 'text' or 'html' format
      }
    },
 
    // Send dynamic message based off anything Node/Grunt/Javascript can do!
    
    dynamic_hello_grunt: {
      options: {
        message: function() { // Functions must return a string
          var pkg = grunt.config.data.pkg;
          return 'Running grunt on ' + pkg.name + ' on version ' + pkg.name;
        },
        from: function() {  // Return the run-time user, or something more creative.
          return someUsernameGenerator() || process.env['USER'];
        },
        // Change color dynamically based on some global state, function response, etc
        color: function() {
          return (grunt.config.data.someBoolean && allIsWell()) ? 'green' : 'red';
        }
      }
    }
 
  },
})
