grunt.initConfig({
  hbs_configpoke: {
    options: {
      // Task-specific options go here.
    },
    your_target: {
      // Target-specific file lists and/or options go here.
    },
  },
});

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({
  hbs_configpoke: {
    options: {},
    files: {
      'dest/default_options': ['src/testing', 'src/123'],
    },
  },
});

Custom Options

In this example, custom options are used to do something else with whatever else. So if the testing file has the content Testing and the 123 file had the content 1 2 3 &, the generated result in this case would be Testing: 1 2 3 & !!!

grunt.initConfig({
  hbs_configpoke: {
    options: {
      separator: ': ',
      punctuation: ' !!!',
      outputFormat: 'xml'
    },
    files: {
      'dest/default_options': ['src/testing', 'src/123'],
    },
  },
});
