grunt-userev

grunt-userev

Update references to assets versioned with grunt-filerev. Leaner and faster than grunt-usemin, and able to update already versioned references.

 

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-userev --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-userev');

The "userev" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, configure userev to update references to assets versioned by grunt-filerev. It will automatically use grunt.filerev.summary.

grunt.initConfig({
  filerev: {
    options: {
      encoding: 'utf8',
      algorithm: 'md5',
      length: 8
    },
    sourcemaps: {        // Rename sourcemaps.
      src: ['build/css/*.map.css', 'build/js/*.map.js'],
    },
    assets: {            // Rename minified js/css.
      src: ['build/css/*.css', 'build/js/*.js', '!build/css/*.map.css', '!build/js/*.map.js'],
    },
  },

  userev: {
    options: {
      hash: /(\.[a-f0-9]{8})\.[a-z]+$/,
    },
    assets: {            // Link to sourcemaps in minified js/css.
      src: ['build/css/*.css', 'build/js/*.js', '!build/css/*.map.css', '!build/js/*.map.js'],
      options: {
        patterns: {
          'Linking versioned source maps': /sourceMappingURL=([a-z0-9.]*\.map)/,
        },
      },
    },
    index: {             // Link to minified js/css in index html.
      src: 'build/index.html',
      options: {
        patterns: {
          'Linking versioned assets': /(css\/[a-z0-9.]*\.css)/,
        },
      },
    },
  },
});

grunt.registerTask( 'rev', [
  'filerev:sourcemaps',  // Rename sourcemaps.
  'userev:assets',       // Link to sourcemaps in minified js/css.
  'filerev:assets',      // Rename minified js/css.
  'userev:index',        // Link to minified js/css in index html.
]);

Options

patterns

Type: Object {Key: RegExp} Default: none

Reference RegExp patterns are matched in source files. The first matched group is checked if it matches ending of any key in grunt.filerev.summary. The key names are used to log processing of matched patterns.

hash

Type: RegExp Default: none

If specified, the RegExp pattern is matched against matched references and the first matched group (the hash in filename) is removed. This allows to update the references in source files multiple times without need to regenerate them.
