Socket researchers found several malicious npm packages typosquatting Chalk and Chokidar, targeting Node.js developers with kill switches and data theft.
grunt-force-task
Advanced tools
Enable the force option for a specific task.
This plugin requires Grunt.
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-force-task --save-dev
Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-force-task');
force
taskThe force
task doesn't require any special configuration. To use it, just add force
as the first argument when running other tasks.
Short example: force:jshint
The default task run the jshint
task and then the watch
task which can run jshint
again. We use force
to execute the first jshint
so we doesn't break the flow and the watch task can executed for continuous development.
grunt.initConfig({
jshint: { /* ... */ },
watch: {
all: {
files: '{,**/}*.js',
tasks: ['jshint']
}
}
});
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-jshint');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-watch');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-force-task');
grunt.registerTask('default', [
'force:jshint',
'watch'
]);
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.
