Grunt Skeleton

Grunt Skeleton is a simple script that allows to load and run Grunt tasks in a simple structure way.

Install

Run npm install -g grunt-skeleton or add grunt-skeleton as a dependency to you project.

Features

• Simple structure of files
• Automatic load of installed grunt-contrib- plugins
• Easy to getting started with Grunt
• Moment configurating for small projects

How it works

You need to simply edit your Gruntfile.js with this code:

module.export = function(grunt) {
	require('grunt-skeleton')(grunt, {
		// grunt-skeleton options
	});
};

Options

• configs - path files with configurations ("./grunt/config/*.json"" by default)
• tasks - path for directory with Grunt tasks ("./grunt/tasks" by default)
• aliases - path for files with alieses ("./grunt/aliases/*.json" by default)

Configutation

Configs

Configs is a json-files with common configurations for grunt. For example you can create concat.json files for concatenating files using grunt-contrib-concat module.

{
	"default": {
		"src": [
			"src/first.js",
			"src/second.js"
		],
		"dest": "build/build.js"
	}
}

Tasks

Tasks are common Grunt tasks that will be included for your build.

module.exports = function(grunt) {
	grunt.registerMultiTask('log', 'Log stuff.', function() {
		grunt.log.writeln(this.target + ': ' + this.data);
	});
}

Aliases

Aliases is a json-file which define task that running a set of other tasks. For example default.json file:

[
	"concat",
	"log"
]

This file defines default task that can be executed in command line by grunt default.
