grunt-scorm-manifest

A grung plugin that generates a valid SCORM IMS manifest file.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.2

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-scorm-manifest --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-scorm-manifest');

The "scorm_manifest" task

Run this task with the grunt scorm_manifest command.

Task targets, files and options may be specified according to the grunt Configuring tasks guide.

Node Libraries Used: xmlbuilder-js (for xml generation).

Config

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

grunt.initConfig({
  scorm_manifest: {
    your_target: {
		options: {
		  // Options go here
		},
		files: {
		  // File declaration goes here
		},
	},
  },
});

Options

options.version

Type: String Default value: '2004' Possible values: 2004||1.2

This is used to define which version of SCORM will be applied to the manifest.

options.courseId

Type: String Default value: 'CourseID'

This is used to define the top-level course ID.

options.SCOtitle

Type: String Default value: 'SCO Title'

This is used (by <organization />) to define the SCO title.

options.moduleTitle

Type: String Default value: 'Module'

This is used (by <item />) to define the SCO module title.

options.launchPage

Type: String Default value: 'index.html'

This is used to define the launchpage of the SCO.

options.path

This is used to define the path to which imsmanifest.xml will be written.

Usage Example

This example creates a SCORM 2004 3rd Edition IMS manifest. The manifest will be written to the project directory and will include files in the project directory and all subdirectories.

// simple single SCO package
scorm_manifest: {
	options: {
		version: '2004',
		courseId: 'GRUNT101',
		SCOtitle: 'Intro to Grunt',
		moduleTitle: 'AU101',
		launchPage: 'the_launchpage.html',
		path: './'
	},
	files: [{
				expand: true,	 	// required
				cwd: './', 			// start looking for files to list in the same dir as Gruntfile 
				src: ['**/*.*'], 	// file selector (this example includes subdirectories)
				filter: 'isFile'	// required
			}],
},
