Grunt Task for Merging Multiple JSON Files

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.0

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-merge-locale --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-merge-locale');

Task Options

• replacer: (default null) the replacer argument for JSON.stringify() (second argument).
• space: (default true) the space argument for JSON.stringify() (third argument).
• includeFilename: (default true) add the file name as the parent node in the json file when merging the contents of the source file
• destFileName: (default rb) file name of the destination file
• destFileExt: (default json) file extension of the resulting locale file

Merge JSON Task

Run this task with the grunt merge-local command.

Task targets, files and options may be specified according to the Grunt Configuring tasks guide.

Usage Example

Assuming we have the following types of source JSON files:

• src/locale/en/foo.json:

{
    "title": "The Foo",
    "name":  "A wonderful component"
}

• src/locale/en/bar.json:

{
    "title": "The Bar",
    "name":  "An even more wonderful component"
}

Assuming we want to generate the following destination JSON file:

• dest/locale/en/rb.json:

{
    "foo": {
        "title": "The Foo",
        "name":  "A wonderful component"
    },
    "bar": {
        "title": "The Bar",
        "name":  "An even more wonderful component"
    }
}

Grunt Config

grunt.initConfig({
    "merge-locale": {
         options:{
          includeFilename: true
        },
        dist: {
           srcDir: 'src/locales/',
           dest: 'dest/locales/'

});
