grunt-exist-unload

Grunt task to unload or clean out an eXist package

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.5

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-exist-unload --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-exist-unload');

The "exist_unload" task

Overview

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

grunt.initConfig({

  pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),

  exist_unload: {
    options: {
      host: 'localhost',
		port: 8080,
		loginUser: 'admin',
		loginPassword: '',
		packages: [],
		clean: true
    }
  }
});

Options

options.host

Type: String Default value: 'locahost'

Name or I/P of host where the eXist database is running.

options.port

Type: Integer Default value: 8080

Port number of the eXist database instance.

options.loginUser

Type: String Default value: 'admin'

Administrator login name.

options.loginPassword

Type: String Default value: none

Administrator password. There is no default value.

options.packages

Type: array Default value: none

A (possible) list of package names which are to be unloaded. Each entry is a string.

options.clean

Type: boolean Default value: false

If true then no error is raised if the plugin fails to deinstall a package. The reply from eXist is always failure when the package was not installed or when it's name is misspelt.

  exist_unload: {
