Documentation

A simple multitask called zip is defined. Configure it like so:

grunt.initConfig({
    zip: {
        foobar: {
            src: [
                'static/images/**/*''
                'static/index.html',
                'README.md'
            ],
            dest: 'package.zip',

            /* optional */
            base: 'some/path',
            subdir: 'some/path',
            zlib: {
                level: 1
            }
        }
    },
    /* optional */
    zlib: { /* ... */ }
});

The base option can be set to a base path that will be stripped off the filenames in the zip file. The subdir option allows you to add a custom prefix to filenames in the zip file, (usually a single directory name.)

Per task, or globally, you can set zlib to options for the Node.js zlib module. See the zlib documentation for specifics, but the most useful will be the level option controlling compression level.
