grunt-express-spawn

Manage Express applications

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-express-spawn --save-dev

Once that's done, add this line to your project's Gruntfile:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-express-spawn');

If the plugin has been installed correctly, running grunt --help at the command line should list the newly-installed plugin's task or tasks. In addition, the plugin should be listed in package.json as a devDependency, which ensures that it will be installed whenever the npm install command is run.

The "express_spawn" task

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

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