grunt-zip-directories

Zip all top level directories in a folder.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ^1.0.0

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-zip-directories --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-zip-directories');

The "zip_directories" task

Overview

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

grunt.initConfig({
  zip_directories: {
    your_target: {
      // Target-specific file lists and/or options go here.
    },
  },
});

Usage Examples

In this example, we find all top level folders in the irep directory, they will then be zipped including all files inside to irep/zips, the name of the zip will be the name of the original folder.

grunt.initConfig({
  zip_directories: {
    irep: {
      files: [{
        filter: 'isDirectory',
        expand: true,
        cwd: './irep',
        src: ['*'],
        dest: './irep'
      }]
    }
  },
});

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.
