grunt-angular-extender

Extend AngularJS applications by injecting module dependencies at build time.

Take at look at https://github.com/mariocasciaro/angular-extender to know what exactly this task is doing and and explanation of the motivations.

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-angular-extender --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-angular-extender');

The "angular_extender" task

Overview

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

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

Options

options.modules

Type: Object Default value: {}

An object where the keys are the modules to extend and the values are arrays containing a list of module names that will be added to the extended module dependencies.

Usage Examples

Transform the files in place

Transforms all the .js files in a given directory. WARNING: use this option only on fresh copies of your sources, this grunt task is NOT idempotent and will change the contents of your sources

grunt.initConfig({
  angular_extender: {
    options: {
      modules: {
        "myApp": [
          "plugin1",
          "plugin2"
        ]
      }
    },
    src: "assets/*.js"
  }
});

Copy and transform the files

Copy all the files to the specified target directory and transforms the angular modules in the process.

grunt.initConfig({
  angular_extender: {
    options: {
      modules: {
        "myApp": [
          "plugin1",
          "plugin2"
        ]
      }
    },
    files: [
      {
        expand: true, 
        cwd: 'src/', 
        src: ['**/*.js'], 
        dest: 'compiled/', 
        filter: 'isFile'
      }
    ]
  }
});
