grunt-copy-part-of-file
Advanced tools
This plugin helps me copy a section from 1 file to another. I use it with angularjs to keep my index.html and my index-e2e.html file in sync
This grunt tasks will copy a portion of one file and insert it into another file. I use this to keep my angular index.html file in sync with my index-e2e.html file rather than trying to manually copy all the scripts each time the index.html changes.
This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.1
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-copy-part-of-file --save-dev
Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-copy-part-of-file');
In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named copy-part-of-file to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().
grunt.initConfig({
copy_part_of_file: {
simple_replace_scripts: {
options: {
sourceFileStartPattern: '<!-- SIMPLE START -->',
sourceFileEndPattern: '<!-- SIMPLE END -->',
destinationFileStartPattern: '<!-- START -->',
destinationFileEndPattern: '<!-- END -->'
},
files: {
'test/fixtures/simple-destination.html': ['test/fixtures/simple-source.html']
}
}
},
})
Type: String
Default value: A STRING OR REGEX
A string or regexp value that is used to match part of the source file and start to copy the content at this line.
Type: String
Default value: A STRING OR REGEX
A string or regexp value that is used to match part of the source file and stop copying at this line.
Type: String
Default value: A STRING OR REGEX
A string or regexp value that is used to match part of the destination file and begin to copy the source matched above below this spot.
Type: String
Default value: A STRING OR REGEX
A string or regexp value that is used to match part of the destination file and stop coping the source matched above at this line.
In this example I use the following config and source content to create the destination content
grunt.initConfig({
copy_part_of_file: {
simple_replace_scripts: {
options: {
sourceFileStartPattern: '<!-- SIMPLE START -->',
sourceFileEndPattern: '<!-- SIMPLE END -->',
destinationFileStartPattern: '<!-- START -->',
destinationFileEndPattern: '<!-- END -->'
},
files: {
'test/fixtures/simple-destination.html': ['test/fixtures/simple-source.html']
}
}
},
})

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.
