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

• Create meanGruntfile.js on your package.
• Export function with arguments of function(grunt)
• Extend the config with the function grunt.config.extend()
• Add your task to the task list by using grunt.mean.push(task[, weight]);
  • task - name of the task
  • 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.
