grunt-csscomb

The grunt plugin for sorting CSS properties in specific order.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt >=1.0.x.

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-csscomb --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-csscomb');

The "csscomb" task

Overview

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

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

Options

options.config

Type: String Default value: null

A string value that is used to specify custom-csscomb.json file path.

Usage Examples

grunt.initConfig({
    csscomb: {
        foo: {
            files: {
                'dest/resorted-foo.css': ['src/foo.css'],
            }
        },
        bar: {
            files: {
                'dest/resorted-foo.css': ['src/foo.css'],
                'dest/resorted-bar.css': ['src/bar.css']
            }
        }
    }
});

Custom Options

You can set the config option if you want to use the configuration which you are accustomed to.

grunt.initConfig({
    csscomb: {
        dist: {
            options: {
                config: '/path/to/config.json'
            },
            files: {
                'dest/resorted-foo.css': ['src/foo.css']
            }
        }
    }
});

Dynamic Mappings

You can process many individual files of directory with a few additional properties.

grunt.initConfig({
    csscomb: {
        dynamic_mappings: {
            expand: true,
            cwd: '/assets/css/',
            src: ['*.css', '!*.resorted.css'],
            dest: '/assets/dest/css/',
            ext: '.resorted.css'
        }
    }
});

Src Only

If you provide only a src with no value for dest, then dest will automatically be set to the src directory.

grunt.initConfig({
    csscomb: {
        src_only: {
            src: ['foo/bar.css'],
            ext: '.resorted.css'
        }
    }
});
