RunGruntTask

This npm module allows you to execute any grunt task within your app programmatically.

Why this exists?

• Grunt is a powerful tool for build/unbuild/configuring your application (Express.js etc).
• You might want to execute these grunt tasks from inside your code such develop a custom development interface for CD/CI, backup databases every 24 hours (using agenda/grunt) etc.

Installation in your project

• npm install rungrunttask --save
• npm install grunt --save-dev (Else would fail)
• This code looks for Gruntfile.js by default. It would not work without it.

Usage

var RunGruntTask = require('rungrunttask');
var taskname = 'some grunt task such as backup database every 24hours';

RunGruntTask(taskname);

Examples

• Running any grunt task as agenda function
