grunt-mokuai

grunt-mokuai

A Grunt task to create mokuai closures.

Mokuai lets you write pure JavaScript modules, without any concern about concatenation order and require calls.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.5

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-mokuai --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-mokuai');

The "mokuai" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named mokuai to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  mokuai: {
    options: {
      // Task-specific options go here.
    },
    your_target: {
      // Target-specific file lists and/or options go here.
    },
  },
});

Options

options.prepend

Type: String|Array|Function Default value: []

Files that will be prepended to mokuai modules.

options.append

Type: String|Array|Function Default value: []

Files that will be appended to mokuai modules.

options.exports

Type: Boolean|String|Function Default value: false

• false : Nothing is exported. (default)
• true : All modules are exported.
• {value} : The module named as the value is exported.

options.exportsname

Type: String|Function Default value: null

Overrides the name of the exported module. (Only applicable if exports is true or a string value)

If NOT set :

• exports=true : The exportsname is modules
• exports={value} : The exportsname is value

options.autoexports

Type: Boolean|Function Default value: false

Whether the modules needs to be autoexported or not.

options.name

Type: Function Default value: function(filepath, filename, dest){ return filename; };

Overrides the names of the modules. Default is the filename.

grunt.initConfig({
  mokuai: {
    your_target: {
      src: "/src**/*.js",
      options: {
        name: function(filepath, filename, dest){
          // Modules names will be capitalized file names
          return capitalize(filename);
        }
      }
    },
  },
});

Multiple output files

Because, you can define multiple output files, the following options can be replaced by functions that return the value by destination file.

grunt.initConfig({
  mokuai: {
    your_target: {
      files: {
        'path/to/output1.js': [ /* ... */ ],
        'path/to/output2.js': [ /* ... */ ],
      },
      options: {
        exports: true,
        exportsname: function(dest){
          if(dest === 'path/to/output1.js'){
            return 'output1';
          } else if(dest === 'path/to/output2.js'){
            return 'output2';
          }
        }
      }
    },
  },
});

No output file

If no destination file is defined, the mokuai closure will be printed in the console.
