grunt-depsconcat

Grunt plugin for concatenating files in order based on dependencies.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.1.

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-depsconcat --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-depsconcat');

The "depsconcat" task

Overview

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

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

Taget configuration

[target].options.ext

Type: String

The extension of the files to be concatenated.

[target].options.requireTemplate

Type: String

The regex used to express dependency.

[target].options.nameTemplate

Type: String

The regex used to name a file.

Usage example

The following example shows how to use the task to concatenate a group of classes in hierarchy order using YUIDoc syntax.

grunt.initConfig({
  src: {
    options: {
      requireTemplate: '\\n*@extends\\s+([^\\n\\r]+)[\\n\\r]*',
      nameTemplate: '\\n*@class\\s+([^\\n\\r]+)[\\n\\r]*'
    },
    files: {
      'name.js': [
        'src/*.js',
        'src/**/*.js'
      ]
    }
  }
})
