grunt-httpcopy
Copy files from one directory to another, but instead of a standard file copy, download the files from a http server.
Getting Started
This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.0
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-httpcopy --save-dev
One the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-httpcopy');
The "httpcopy" task
Overview
In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named httpcopy
to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig()
.
grunt.initConfig({
httpcopy: {
options: {
// Task-specific options go here.
},
your_target: {
// Target-specific file lists and/or options go here.
},
},
})
Options
options.serverUrl
Type: String
Default value: http://localhost/
Use this option to specify the server URL to download the files from.
options.urlMapper
Type: Function (serverUrl, relativeFilePath)
Default value: function (serverUrl, relativeFilePath) { return serverUrl + relativeFilePath; }
Use this option if the file paths do not match 1:1 with the server url paths.
For example, if a file is located at src/templates/index.html
, and the http server is serving the file at http://localhost/templates/index.html
, u could use the following configuration to strip off the src/
part:
grunt.initConfig({
httpcopy: {
options: {
serverUrl: 'http://localhost/',
urlMapper: function (serverUrl, filePath) {
return serverUrl + filePath.replace(/^src\//, '');
}
},
dist: {
files: [
{ expand: true, cwd: 'src/', src: ['**/*.html'], dest: 'build/' }
]
}
}
})
Usage Example
grunt.initConfig({
httpcopy: {
dist: {
files: [
{ expand: true, cwd: 'src/', src: ['**/*.html'], dest: 'build/' }
]
}
}
})
