Requires grunt ~0.4.0
A grunt task for including a file within another file (think php includes). Circular imports will break the recursive strategy. All includes retain parent and child indentation
Install this grunt plugin next to your project's Gruntfile.js with: npm install grunt-includes --save-dev
Then add this line to your project's Gruntfile.js:
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-includes');

Type: String
Default: false
Flatten all file sources to the destination directory. For example source/file/path.html will be shortened to path.html.
Type: String
Default: ''
String processed by grunt.template.process, and prepended to every compiled file.
Type: Boolean
Default: true
Permits the same file to be included twice.
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Enables debug mode compilation.
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Silences file save success messages.
Type: String
Default: ``
Indicates the path to use when looking for included files. Instead of using relative path in the include statements, use includePath as base directory.
Type: String
Default: ``
Prepend the defined string to each included filename before reading them. Thus making possible to include "include_file.ext" by using directly "file.ext".
Type: String
Default: ``
Append the defined string to each included filename before reading them. Thus making possible to include "file.ext" by using directly "file".
Type: RegExp
Default: /\{\{\s?file\s?\}\}/
Regular expression for matching and replacing template text. Example: Start of template | {{file}} | End of template.
Type: String
Template to be rendered into, {{fileName}} and {{file}} will be replaced with the filename and file contents respectively.
Type: RegExp
Default: /^(\s*)include\s+"(\S+)"\s*$/
Matches: include "some/file.html"
Sets the regular expression used to find include statements.
A regex group is used to identify the important parts of the include statement. When constructing your own regex, it can contain up to two groups (denoted by parentheses () in the regular expression):
All regular expressions used must contain at least one group. If only one group is used, it will be assumed to contain the file path.
You can use this plugin to build html templates.
includes: {
files: {
src: ['path/to/foo.html', 'path/to/bar.html'], // Source files
dest: 'tmp', // Destination directory
flatten: true,
cwd: '.',
options: {
silent: true,
banner: '<!-- I am a banner <% includes.files.dest %> -->'
}
}
}
Or even organize your static files.
includes: {
js: {
options: {
includeRegexp: /^\/\/\s*import\s+['"]?([^'"]+)['"]?\s*$/,
duplicates: false,
debug: true
},
files: [{
cwd: 'assets/js/',
src: '**/*.js',
dest: 'assets/dist/js/',
}],
},
},
watch: {
js: {
files: ['assets/js/**/*.js'],
tasks: ['includes:js', 'jshint']
},
},
includes as a multitask and are specifying a files object with src, dest, and cwd, you must supply it in an array using the files array format. If you shorthand it by setting files: {src: ... }, Grunt will misinterpret it into the files object format and mysteriously copy artifacts into (potentially new) src, dest, and cwd directories. This appears to affect only multitask usage.index.html
