grunt-kairekai

KaiRēkai(Tamil) - Fingerprint(English)

Grunt task for Fingerprinting based on the file modified time / Nodejs Crypto md5 algorithm. This Grunt task can be used for assets versioning

Setup

Install grunt-kairekai:

npm install grunt-kairekai --save-dev

Example

grunt.initConfig({
  kairekai: {
    sourceOne: {
      src: [
        'assets/textfile-one*.js'
      ],
      baseVal: "base64",
      action:"createSrcCopy",
      filename: 'a.txt'
    },
    sourceTwo: {
      src: [
        'assets/textfile-two.js'
      ],
      algorithm: "timeStamp",
      action:"createSrcCopy",
      filename: 'a.txt'
    },
    sourceThree: {
      src: [
        'assets/textfile-three.js'
      ],
      algorithm: "timeStamp",
      action:"createSrcCopy",
      filename: 'a.txt'
    }
  }
});
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-kairekai');

Options

• algorithm(optional): Datatype string which decides algorithm to generate fingerprint value, "timeStamp" - fingerprint based on time modified,"md5" - node crypto md5 algorithm based output. default to "md5".

• baseVal(optional): Datatype string which decides base value for out put fingerprinting value in "hex" or "base16", "base64". default value "hex" or "base16"

• action(mandatory): Datatype string which decides whether to rename or create copy file along fingerprint value.

• filename(mandatory): Datatype string, file path to replace the original file with fingerprint value.
