grunt-files-check

Grunt plugin to apply regular expressions on files and check their validity.

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-files-check-oldschool --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-files-check-oldschool');

The "files_check" task

Overview

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

grunt.initConfig({
  files_check: {
    your_target: {
      options: {
        pattern: /* your regex */
      },
      src: /* the files that will be checked */
    },
  },
})

Options

options.pattern

Type: String Default value: /^$/

The regex that will by applied on every file.

options.excluded

Type: Array Default value: []

An array which contains the files that will not be checked

options.verbose

Type: Array Default value: false

When set to true the task will display the files that have been checked.

options.maxFileNameWidth

Type: Integer Default value: 40

Define the max width used to display a file name in the output. When the file is too long, ellipsis -> '...' are written.

options.output

Type: String Default value: null

Define file name where log content will be saved.

Usage Examples

Check for console.log

In this example, we check every js files in the app/scripts folder to ensure that there no console.log anymore. We exclude the app/scripts/debug which contains files we do not want to check.

grunt.initConfig({
  console_log: {
    your_target: {
      options: {
        excluded: ['app/scripts/debug/**/*.js'],
        pattern: /console\.log/
      },
      src: ['app/scripts/**/*.js']
    },
  },
})

Check for console.log with output formatting

Same example as the previous one, except that we are going to format the output. We display the files that have been checked with the option verbose: true and we fix the max width used to display files name to 100 characters (large console) with the option maxFileNameWidth: 100.

grunt.initConfig({
  console_log: {
    your_target: {
      options: {
        excluded: ['app/scripts/debug/**/*.js'],
        pattern: /console\.log/,
        verbose: true,
        maxFileNameWidth: 100
      },
      src: ['app/scripts/**/*.js']
    },
  },
})
