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-component-io --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-component-io');

The "component" task

Overview

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

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

'scripts': ['test/lib/a.js','test/lib/b.js'], 'styles': ['bootstrap/bootstrap.min.css', 'custom.css'], 'files': ['fonts/font.ttf'] Note: be careful using autoload: ['styles'], task will concatenate stylesheets in alphabetical order
