grunt-require-dir

Task to build a requirejs AMD module out of a directory of files.

Getting Started

Install this grunt plugin next to your project's grunt.js gruntfile with: npm install grunt-require-dir

Then add this line to your project's grunt.js gruntfile:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-require-dir');

Config

• require-dir
  • src : Your source files to include. Should all be under one common directory
  • baseDir : The local base directory prefix, removed from the source file paths (optional)
  • prefixDir : The new directory path to place in front of the source file paths (optional)
  • dest : The destination AMD file
  • plugin : The requirejs plugin to prefix the files with (optional). Useful for templates.

'require-dir' : {
  all : {
    plugin    : 'tpl',
    src       : 'test/fixtures/texttree/**/*.tmpl',
    baseDir   : 'test/fixtures/texttree/',
    prefixDir : 'customDir/',
    dest      : 'test/fixtures/texttree.js'
  }
},

Example output

Given the config above, and the file tree below

|_ /fixtures
| |_ /texttree
| | |_ /A
| | | |_ one.tmpl
| | | |_ two.tmpl
| | |_ bar.tmpl
| | |_ foo.tmpl
| | |_ unwanted.ext

Running grunt require-dir (or grunt require-dir:all), you will get a file in test/fixtures/texttree.js with the contents

define(function(require){
  return {
  'A' : {
    'one' : require("tpl!customDir/A/one.tmpl"),
    'two' : require("tpl!customDir/A/two.tmpl")
  },
  'bar' : require("tpl!customDir/bar.tmpl"),
  'foo' : require("tpl!customDir/foo.tmpl")
  };
});
