grunt-merge-objects
Merges two files each with a hierarchical JS key/value object structure. The plugin is specially adapted to object literals specified through AMD define({}). First file is the base object, and subsequent files overrides and extends the base.
Getting Started
This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.5
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-objects --save-dev
Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:
grunt;
The "merge_objects" task
Overview
In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named merge_objects
to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig()
.
grunt;
Options
options.functionName
Type: String
Default value: 'define'
The name of the function wrapping the key/value object literal.
Usage Examples
Properties found in either base.js
and extension.js
will be copied to a new object literal found in tmp/merged.js
, also on sub-property levels.
If a property exists in both source files, the value in extension.js
will be used.
grunt;
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.
