grunt-json-generator

Write your json files easily.

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-json-generator --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-json-generator');

The "json_generator" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named json_generator to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  json_generator: {
    your_target: {
      dest: "", // Destination file
      options: {
        // Your json file goes here
      }
    }
  }
});

Options

There are no options themselves. The options are just your json file, that's all.

Usage Examples

json_generator: {
    target: {
        dest: "bower.json",
        options: {
            name: "json-generator",
            version: "0.1.0",
            description: "Generating json files on the fly really easily.",
            keywords: ["json", "grunt"]
        }
    }
}

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.
