grunt-mean

grunt-mean

Load mean-packages grunt extensions.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.5, and using Mean.io

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-mean --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-mean');

The "mean" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a task named mean as "placeholder" to run all the injected tasks.

Usage

Injection Grunt to your mean-package

1. Create meanGruntfile.js on your package.
2. Export function with arguments of function(grunt)
3. Extend the config with the function grunt.config.extend()
4. Add your task to the task list by using grunt.mean.push(task[, weight]);
   1. task - name of the task
   2. weight - weight to load the task [default: 0] (lower is earlier)

• You can add npm-dependencies to your mean-package in order to add new functionality
• You can extend the watch task in order to add watch tasks...

Example

'use strict';

module.exports = function(grunt) {
  grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-concat');

  grunt.config.merge({
    concat: {
      dist: {
        src: ['*.js'],
        dest: 'test-concat.js'
      }
    }
  });

  //Inject the task to the task list
  grunt.mean.push('concat', 10);
};

Contributing

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.
