Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.1

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-timestamp --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-timestamp');

The "timestamp" task

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

grunt.initConfig({
  timestamp: {
      default: {
        files: [{
          // Use dynamic extend name
          expand: true,
          // Open source dir
          cwd: 'test/fixtures',
          // Match files
          src: ['*.css', '*.js'],
          // Output files
          dest: 'test/tmp',
          // Set extend middle name
          ext: '.timestamp'
        }],
        options: {
          // Timestamp display text
          'timestampName': 'Timetamp',
          // Date format
          'timestampFormat': 'yyyy/mm/dd HH:MM:ss',
          // Add timestamp at the end of the files' content(.css/.js).
          'timestampType': 'md5',
          // Timestamp type like time(2014/04/02 22:17:07) | md5/sha1/ha256/sha512).
          'fileEndStamp': true,
          // Add timestamp at images of CSS style.
