This is a fork of Blooie's grunt-redis task (see readme below). This fork allows the user to specify a manifest key and max size so the deploy keys are stored in the same redis instance as all previous deploys.

See see my blog post on zero-downtime Javascript app deployment for more detail.

grunt-redis-manifest

Redis file uploader

Introduction

This package is inspired by Luke Melia's slides about deploying javascript mainly because there wasn't a way to upload a file using grunt.

This is a reasonably basic grunt plugin, with very little documentation but it works! PRs and Feature Requests welcome.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.4

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-redis --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-redis');

The "redis" task

Overview

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

grunt.initConfig({
  redis: {
    options: {
      manifestKey: String,
      manifestSize: Number,
      fullPath: Boolean,
      prefix: String,
      host: String,
      port: Number,
      connectionOptions: Object //as per https://github.com/mranney/node_redis#rediscreateclientport-host-options
    },
    your_target: {
      files: {
        src : ["src/index.html"]
      }
    },
  },
});

Options

options.fullPath

Type: Boolean Default value: false

True if you want the full src file path as the redis key, otherwise only use the path.basename() i.e. just the file name

options.prefix

Type: String Default value: ''

prefix all your keys with this

Usage Examples

Default Options

grunt.initConfig({
  redis: {
    options: {
      fullPath: true, 
      prefix: 'grunt:'
    },
    default: {
      files: {
        src : ["src/index.html"]
      }
    },
  },
});

Contributing

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.
