grunt-build-requirejs

grunt-build-requirejs

Use r.js to build all the require.js projects of a directorys

Getting Started

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, install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-build-requirejs --save-dev

Requirejs task

Run this task with the grunt requirejs command.

This task is a [multi task][] so any targets, files and options should be specified according to the [multi task][] documentation. [multi task]: https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt/wiki/Configuring-tasks

This plugin is compatible with grunt 0.4.0rc7

The plugin will look for the build files and compile them into the specified destination.

Options

For a full list of possible options, see the r.js example build file.

Usage Examples

First possibility: Create a json build file

// path/to/main.build.json
{
    "paths": {
                "dependency": "test-dependency"
            },

    "modules": [{"name": "test1"},{"name": "test2"}]
}

Second possibility: Add a specific extension to identify the files to optimize (In this example .build.js)

// Gruntfile.js
requirejs: {
  compile: {
    options: {
      //common options for all build files
    }
    files:[
        {
            expand: true,
            cwd: root + components,
            src: ['**/*.build.json', '**/*.build.js'],
            dest: root + compiled
        }
    ]
  }
}
