grunt-replace-json-glob

grunt-replace-json-glob

Expands globs in json files.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt.

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-replace-json-glob --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-replace-json-glob');

The "replace_json_glob" task

Overview

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

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

Usage Examples

In this example, we replace globs in the first set of content_scripts in a Chrome extension's manifest.json:

grunt.initConfig({
  replace_json_glob: {
    dist: {
      files: [{
        src: 'app/manifest.json',
        dest: 'dist/manifest.json',
        subdir: 'app',
        props: ['content_scripts.0.js']
      }],
    }
  },
})

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.
