grunt-depend-concat

grunt-depend-concat

A Grunt task that concatenates files in order via path references.

This task was initially developed to be used in conjunction with grunt-ts for concatenating separately compiled JavaScript files.

Written in TypeScript.

Supported Path References

Dependency Comments

/**
 * @depends ../path/to/file.js
 */

TypeScript References

/// <reference path="../path/to/file.ts" />

Installation

npm install grunt -g
npm install grunt-depend-concat --save-dev

Configuration

method

The method used for referencing dependencies. Default: "depends"

"depends"       @depends ../path/to/file.js
"reference"     /// <reference path="../path/to/file.ts" />

You can also provide your own.

{
    /**
     * A regular expression used to find the dependencies
     */
    regex: new RegExp('@requires (.*)', 'gi'),

    /**
     * An array index where each dependency's file path
     * can be found from the result of RegExp.exec()
     */
    index: 1
}

separator

File contents separator. Default: "\n"

concat_ext

File extension of concatenated file. Default: "js"

ignore_ext

When looking for matching dependency files, the file extensions are ignored. Allows TypeScript references (.ts) to discover their compiled (.js) counterparts. Default: true

Example

grunt.initConfig({
    'depend-concat': {
        options: {
            concat_ext: 'js',
            method: 'depends',
            separator: '\n'
        },
        build: {
            src: ['src/files/**.js'],
            dest: 'dist/concat.js'
        }
    }
});
