grunt-mixit

Merge multiple json files.

It uses the mixit microlib.

If you want more power you should use the json-merge by maxogden

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt.

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-mixit --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-mixit');

The "mixit" task

Overview

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

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

Options

options.indent

Type: Number Default value: 0

The number of spaces (up to 10) to use to indent the JSON.

Usage Examples

Default Options

grunt.initConfig({
  mixit: {
    files: {
      'dist/foo.json': ['src/bar.json', 'src/baz.json'],
    },
    or: {
      src: ['data/en/**/*.json'],
      dest: 'dist/en.json'
    }
  },
})

Options

By default the generated JSON won't have any extra spaces. It will already be minified. If you want a prettier, say readable output you can use the indent option, which is FYI, the third parameter of the JSON.stringify method.

See jimcowart speaking about this function.

grunt.initConfig({
  mixit: {
    options: {
      indent: 2
    },
    files: {
      src: ['data/en/**/*.json'],
      dest: 'dist/en.json'
    },
  },
})

Contributing

In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint and test your code using Grunt.
