grunt-systemjs-pluginbuilder

A grunt systemJS build tool task to create plugin based bundles.

Issues & feature requests

This grunt task is just a wrapper for the node module called systemjs-pluginbuilder. If you have any issues or feature requests, please consider if this may belongs to the node module its self.

Getting Started

If you haven't used grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide.

From the same directory as your project's Gruntfile and package.json, install this plugin with the following command:

	npm install grunt-systemjs-pluginbuilder --save-dev

Once that's done, add this line to your project's Gruntfile:

	grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-systemjs-pluginbuilder');

Inside your Gruntfile.js file add a section named pluginbuilder. This section specifies the tasks. Each task takes sources and options as parameters.

Options

builder

This defines the builder which should be used. There are currently two possible values: systemjs and jspm. Each value refers to a specific builder:

• systemjs uses the systemjs-builder
• jspm uses the included builder of jspm

The default value of this option is systemjs.

Attention: When using jspm as builder, the configPath option will be ignored. The builder uses the configured path to the config file inside the package.json. You also should not rewrite the baseURL property using the config option. This value can be defined in the package.json as well.

	builder: 'systemjs'

configPath

This sets the path to the systemjs config file. This is option is required when using the systemjs builder.

	configPath: 'js/src/config.js'

config

This option allows to add or overwrite settings from the loaded config file.

	config: {
		paths: {
			'app/*': 'js/src/*'
		}
	}

basePath

This is the path to the base file. The path should be defined as string. This option is required.

	basePath: 'js/src/Base.js'

pluginPaths

This is a list of all plugin files. The build of these files will have a substracted module tree of the base file. The paths will be defined as array of strings.

	pluginPaths: [
		'js/src/PluginA.js',
		'anywhere/else/src/PluginB.js'
	]

out

This defines the relative output path for built base and plugin files. The path is defined relative to each source file (defined by basePath and pluginPaths). The default value is '../build/'.

	out: '../build/'

Example: When using ../build/ as out option, with js/src/Base.js being the location of the base file, the build process will output to js/build/Base.js.

Configuration Example

	pluginbuilder: {
		all: {
			options: {
				builder: 'systemjs',
				configPath: 'js/src/config.js',
				config: {paths: {
					'app/*': 'js/src/*'
				},
				basePath: 'js/src/Base.js',
				pluginPathes: 'js/src/Plugin*.js',
				out: '../build/'
			}
		}
	}
