grunt-listfiles-json

grunt-listfiles

Create a list of files and perform an action on each file in the list then write the results to a file.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.0

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-listfiles --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-listfiles');

This plugin was designed to work with Grunt 0.4.x.

Listfiles task

Run this task with the grunt listfiles command.

Task targets, files and options may be specified according to the grunt Configuring tasks guide.

Options

replacements

Type: Array
Default: []

This option will hold all your pattern/replacement pairs. A pattern/replacement pair should contain key:value pairs containing:

• pattern String or Regex
• replacement String or Function

options: {
  replacements: [{
    pattern: /\/(asdf|qwer)\//ig,
    replacement: '"$1"'
  }, {
    pattern: ',',
    replacement: ';'
  }, {
    pattern: /(file)(_)([\S]*?)(_)(test)/gi,
    replacement: function (match, p1, p2, p3, p4, p5, offset, string) {
      return [p1, p3, p5].join('-');
    }
  }]
}

Note

If specifying a function as a parameter for the replacemnt please see the documentation at https://developer.mozilla.org for more details. If the pattern is a string, only the first occurrence will be replaced, as stated on String.prototype.replace.
