Grunt task with custom json setting
I want to create some kind of task where I can read custom configs from different json files and replace files inside my source files with the contents of json files and concatenate the source files.
my projekt-setup:
-
./CSI
- file1.coffee
- file2.coffee
-
./configurations
-
/ folder1
- development.json (contains: {"key": "value1"}
- production.json (contains: {"key": "value2"}
-
/ folder2
- development.json (contains: {"key": "value3"}
- production.json (contains: {"key": "value4"}
-
-
./distance
- package-name.coffee
- Package-name.js
file1.coffee contains
myVar = '@@putkeyhere'
version = '@@version'
...
I have a grunt concet task set up and working:
concat: {
dist: {
src: ['<banner>', './src/*.coffee'],
dest: './dist/<%= pkg.name %>.coffee'
}
},
I have a task to replace grunt (version replacement etc already works when I run "grunt replace" on already concatenated files)
replace: {
dist: {
options: {
variables: {
'created': '<%= grunt.template.today("dd.mm.yyyy HH:MM:ss") %>',
'environment': 'dev',
'version': '<%= pkg.version %>'
},
prefix: '@@'
},
files: {
'dist/': ['./dist/<%= pkg.name %>.coffee']
}
}
},
and finally the task of compiling coffee:
coffee: {
compile: {
files: {
'./dist/<%= pkg.name %>.js': ['./dist/*.coffee']
}
}
}
all the tasks work on their own, but I need to read from the config-json files that replace the content in the concatenated coffee files and then compile all the files to js.
I tried something like this, but it doesn't seem right:
grunt.registerTask('mytask', '', function (env) {
env = env || 'development';
if (env !== 'development' && env !== 'production') {
grunt.log.error("'" + env + "' is not valid environment");
return false;
}
var c = grunt.option('c');
if(c) {
// if i run the task "grunt mytask:production -c folder2 it should read
// ./config/folder2/development.json
// that works that way, but i dont think this is a good solution
var config = grunt.file.readJSON('./config/' + c + '/' + env + '.json')
} else {
// here i need to iterate for all folders in ./config, and do stuff for all
}
});
- multiTask option? but how to read dynamically from config.json files?
Appreciate your help!
