grunt-durandal

Grunt task to build Durandal projects using a custom require config with a custom almond

Getting Started

Install this grunt plugin next to your project's gruntfile with: npm install grunt-durandal --save-dev

Then add this line to your project's Gruntfile.js :

grunt.loadNpmTasks("grunt-durandal");

Then specify your config: (more informations)

grunt.initConfig({
    durandal: {
        dist: {
            src: [
				"app/**/*.*",
				"scripts/durandal/**/*.*"
			],
            options: {
                baseUrl: "app/",
                mainPath: "app/main.js",
                out: "app/main-built.js",

                uglify2: {
                    compress: {
                        global_defs: {
                            DEBUG: false
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
});

Using the configuration above, consider the following app structure :

• App
  • viewmodels
    • shell.js
    • home.js
  • views
    • shell.html
    • home.html
  • main.js
• Scripts
  • durandal
    • all durandal files
  • require.js
  • text.js
  • almond-custom.js

After running the grunt task, a main-built file will be created in your app folder. This file contains a custom almond, and all your modules inlined (views included as text!...)
