grunt-weinre

Run weinre as a grunt task for easy configuration and integration with the rest of your workflow

Getting Started

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, install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-weinre --save-dev

Then add this line to your project's Gruntfile.js gruntfile:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-weinre');

Usage

The minimal usage of weinre runs with no options:

weinre: {
  dev: {}
}

Here is a config that uses all of the available options(with their default values) for weinre:

weinre: {
  dev: {
    options: {
      httpPort: 8080,
      boundHost: 'localhost',
      verbose: false,
      debug: false,
      readTimeout: 5,
      deathTimeout: 15
    }
  }
}

Running weinre concurrently

A common use case is to run weinre with other tasks concurrently. This can be achieved with the following config, which uses grunt-concurrent to run weinre, nodemon, node-inspector, and watch in a single terminal tab:

concurrent: {
  dev: {
    tasks: ['weinre', 'nodemon', 'node-inspector', 'watch'],
    options: {
      logConcurrentOutput: true
    }
  }
}

boundHost
