grunt-max-filesize

Throws an error if files are over a certain size, specified in bytes.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.x

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-max-filesize --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-max-filesize');

The "maxFilesize" task

Overview

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

grunt.initConfig({
  maxFilesize: {
    options: {
      // Task-specific options go here.
    },
    your_target: {
      // Target-specific file lists and/or options go here.
    },
  },
});

Options

options.maxBytes

Type: Number Default value: undefined

The maximum number of bytes a file can be. If any files are larger than this value a fatal error will be thrown, and the name of the files logged to the console.

Usage Examples

Default Options

There are no default options. If maxBytes option is not defined for the task as a whole or specific targets, this task will do nothing.

Verify files under X bytes.

Running this multitask will ensure that files in the lib directory are under 3000 bytes, and files in the app directory are under 10000 bytes. Using standard grunt file globbing works.

grunt.initConfig({
  maxFilesize: {
    libs: {
      options: {
        maxBytes: 3000
      },
      src: ['lib/*']
    }
    app: {
      options: {
        maxBytes: 10000
      },
      src: ['app/*']
    },
  },
});

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.
