shave
usesMustache
andConfig
to pre-compilation tasks where the source code can have placeholders that can be replaced at build-time (e.g., database configuration code)
var db = new Db("mydb", new Server("127.0.0.1", 27017,
{auto_reconnect: false, poolSize: 4}), {safe:false, native_parser: false});
Which can be replaced with
var db = new Db("{{db_name}}", new Server("{{server_name}}", 27017,
{auto_reconnect: false, poolSize: 4}), {safe:false, native_parser: false});
and a settings yaml file inside config/default.yml
such as
Server:
server_name: "localhost"
db_name: "mydb"
Getting Started
This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.1
, Mustache ~0.7.2
and Config : ~0.4.25
,
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-shave --save-dev
Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-shave');
The "shave" task
Overview
In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named shave
to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig()
.
grunt.initConfig({
shave: {
mainKey: "yourKey", // This is the key inside your config/default.yaml that you want to use as template
srcFile: "js/all_in_one.js" // The source file that you want transformed (after replacing placeholders)
}
})
Usage Examples
Default Options
In this example, the default options are used to do something with whatever. So if the testing
file has the content Testing
and the 123
file had the content 1 2 3
, the generated result would be Testing, 1 2 3.
grunt.initConfig({
shave: {
options: {},
files: {
'dest/default_options': ['src/testing', 'src/123'],
},
},
})
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.
