grunt-codekit

Grunt plugin for compiling Kit files and concatenating javascript

Getting Started

###Install the plugin

npm install grunt-codekit --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-codekit');

Choose files to compile

The plugins supports building templates written using the Kit language of CodeKit™ as well as concatenating javascript using the same directives as in CodeKit™ and PrePros™ @codekit-append,@codekit-prepend and @prepros-append,@prepros-prepend

Usage Example

grunt.initConfig({
  codekit: {
    options: {
      // None yet
    },
    your_target: {
      files : {
        'index.html' : 'index.kit',
        'app.html' : 'app.kit',
      }
    },
  },
});

About the Kit language

The Kit language is a simple html templating language used in the commercial program CodeKit. It imports files into other html files and does simple variable substitution. Since Bryan Jones made it open source it has seen support from several other programs, among those PrePros and implementations in Python and Javascript. This plugin makes it possible to compile these files using Grunt.
