grunt-scorm-manifest

A grung plugin that generates a valid SCORM IMS manifest file.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.2

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-scorm-manifest --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-scorm-manifest');

The "scorm_manifest" task

Run this task with the grunt scorm_manifest command.

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

Node Libraries Used: xmlbuilder-js (for xml generation).

Config

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

grunt.initConfig({
  scorm_manifest: {
    your_target: {
        options: {
          // Options go here
        },
        files: {
          // File declaration goes here
        },
    },
  },
});
