grunt-include-source
Include your sources into your HTML files automatically. Also supports including Bower components that expose their source files via the sources property in the bower.json
file.
Getting Started
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-include-source --save-dev
Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-include-source');
The "includeSource" task
Overview
In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named includeSource
to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig()
.
grunt.initConfig({
includeSource: {
options: {
},
your_target: {
},
},
})
Options
options.basePath
Type: String
Default value: ''
The base path to use when expanding files.
options.baseUrl
Type: String
Default value: ''
The base URL to use for included files in the final result.
For example, setting baseUrl
to public/
will result in files being included from public/path/to/your/file
.
options.templates
Type: Object
The templates for sources included in html
, scss
, less
files. Definition of single template overrides its default equivalent only.
Example:
includeSource: {
options: {
basePath: 'app',
baseUrl: 'public/',
templates: {
html: {
js: '<script src="{filePath}"></script>',
css: '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" th:href="@{{filePath}}}" />',
},
scss: {
scss: '@import "{filePath}";',
css: '@import "{filePath}";',
},
less: {
less: '@import "{filePath}";',
css: '@import "{filePath}";',
}
}
},
myTarget: {
files: {
'dist/index.html': 'app/index.tpl.html'
}
}
}
As it was mentioned above, it is possible to override only necessary templates.
Example (using Thymeleaf template engine):
includeSource: {
options: {
basePath: 'app',
baseUrl: 'public/',
template: {
html: {
js: '<script type="text/javascript" th:src="@{{filePath}}}"></script>'
}
}
},
myTarget: {
files: {
'dist/index.html': 'app/index.tpl.html'
}
}
}
Include syntax
Currently supported: html
, scss
and less
HTML syntax
<!-- include: options_go_here_as_json -->
SCSS and LESS syntax
// include: options_go_here_as_json
include.type
The type of files that are being included.
Currently supported: html
, css
, scss
, less
include.bower
Include files of the specified Bower component. The component should have a bower.json
meta data with a property called sources
.
This property should contain the files grouped by type, which are passed through the grunt.file.expand
method.
Example:
{
"name": "package.name",
...
"sources": {
"js": [
"src/scripts/**/*.js",
"lib/compiled-templates.js"
],
"css": "src/styles/**/*.css"
}
}
include.files
Include the given files. Files are passed through the grunt.file.expand
method.
include.basePath
Set to override the basePath
set in the options.
include.baseUrl
Set to override the baseUrl
set in the options.
Usage Examples
Configure your task like this:
grunt.initConfig({
includeSource: {
options: {
basePath: 'app',
baseUrl: 'public/'
},
myTarget: {
files: {
'dist/index.html': 'app/index.tpl.html'
}
}
}
})
The file index.tpl.html
could contain, for example:
<!doctype html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1">
<title>Index</title>
<meta name="description" content="">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
And the resulting file index.html
will look something like:
<!doctype html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1">
<title>Index</title>
<meta name="description" content="">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
<link href="public/styles/main.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="public/styles/anotherFile.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
<script src="public/bower_components/yourComponent/main.js"></script>
<script src="public/scripts/app.js"></script>
<script src="public/scripts/anotherFile.js"></script>
<script src="public/scripts/controllers/evenMore.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
