grunt-bower-depend
Handle Bower dependencies via Grunt. This task allows you to run
bower install
from Grunt and then copy specific library files wherever they're needed in your application with a single task.
Getting Started
This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.1
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-bower-depend --save-dev
Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:
grunt;
The "bower_depend" task
Overview
In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named bower_depend
to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig()
.
bower_depend: options: // Task-specific options go here. copy: true your_target: // Target-specific file lists and/or options go here. files: 'expand': true 'cwd': 'bower_components/jquery/' 'src': 'jquery.*js' 'dest': 'tmp/lib/'
Options
options.copy
Type: Boolean
Default value: false
A boolean value for whether to copy dependencies installed via bower
Usage Examples
Default Options
In this example, the default option simply executes the bower install
command.
bower_depend: options: {}
Custom Options
In this example, the default bower install
command is executed, then since the copy
option is true
the specified files are copied from the new bower_components into the lib folder.
bower_depend: options: copy: true your_target: files: 'expand': true 'cwd': 'bower_components/jquery/' 'src': 'jquery.*js' 'dest': 'tmp/lib/'
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.
