The following code is an example of a very basic sample
grunt.js
file that handles project
configuration, loading a grunt plug-in, and a default task:
module
.
exports
=
function
(
grunt
)
{
// Project configuration.
grunt
.
initConfig
({
lint
:
{
all
:
[
'grunt.js'
,
'lib/**/*.js''test/**/*.js'
]
},
jshint
:
{
options
:
{
browser
:
true
}
}
});
// Load tasks from "grunt-sample" grunt plugin installed via Npm.
grunt
.
loadNpmTasks
(
'grunt-sample'
);
// Default task.
grunt
.
registerTask
(
'default'
,
'lint sample'
);
};
You can easily set up a new grunt project by using the grunt
init
command. There are
a few different templates for various types of projects including CommonJS, jQuery, and
Node.js.
As an example, try running grunt on the
slidfast.js
library used in the previous chapters.
From the root of the project, in the terminal, run:
grunt init:gruntfile
This customizable template (
Figure 4-6
) creates a single
grunt.js
file based on your an‐
swers to a few questions. Grunt also tries to determine source, unit test, and other system
paths using it's own environment detection.
