Use mincer to concatenate your sources.
Install this grunt plugin next to your project's grunt.js gruntfile with: npm install grunt-mincer
Then add this line to your project's grunt.js
gruntfile:
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-mincer');
Mincer is a multi task, meaning that grunt will automatically iterate over all
mince
targets if a target is not specified.
Inside your grunt.js
file, add a section named mince
.
Name of the file to be processed by mincer. It probably contains one or more mincer require
directives. If source is not specified your target name with .js
suffix will be used.
Output file: this is where mincer is going to dump your concatenated sources.
If dest
is not specified destDir
and the name of your target are used to determine the name of
the output file: path.join(destDir, target + '.js')
List of directories that are added to mincer load path. If you have only one directory it can be specified as a single string.
There are couple of formats you can use to configure mincer task.
'mince': {
'main': {
include: ['src', 'module/src'],
src: 'main.js',
dest: 'build/main.js'
}
}
You can skip src
if it has the same basename as your target:
'mince': {
'main': {
include: ['src', 'module/src'],
dest: 'build/main.js'
}
}
You can specify destDir
instead of dest
if your output file has the same basename as your target:
'mince': {
'main': {
include: ['src', 'module/src'],
destDir: 'build'
}
}
And if you only have one include
directory you can specify it as string:
'mince': {
'main': {
include: 'src',
destDir: 'build'
}
}
You can use different format for each target.
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.
