grunt-noflo-manifest

Grunt plugin for updating NoFlo package manifests

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-noflo-manifest --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-noflo-manifest');

The "noflo_manifest" task

Overview

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

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

Platform detection

This Grunt plugin does its best to detect which platform(s) a particular graph or component is meant for, and adding them to only those manifest files.

With JSON graphs the platform detection is based on the environment.type property of the graph.

With other source files (FBP, CoffeeScript, etc), the platform detection happens using the @runtime annotation, which should be in the beginning of the file:

# @runtime noflo-browser 

If platform cannot be detected from a file it is assumed to be available for all platforms.

Usage Examples

Updating both manifest files

grunt.initConfig({
  noflo_manifest: {
    both: {
      files: {
        'package.json': ['graphs/*', 'components/*'],
        'component.json': ['graphs/*', 'components/*']
      },
    }
  },
});

Updating only the Node.js package file

grunt.initConfig({
  noflo_manifest: {
    nodeonly: {
      files: {
        'package.json': ['graphs/*', 'components/*']
      },
    }
  },
});

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.
