Default Options

In this example, the default options are used to do something with whatever. So if the testing file has the content Testing and the 123 file had the content 1 2 3, the generated result would be Testing, 1 2 3.

grunt.initConfig({
  port_checker: {
    target: 'connect.test.options.port',
    affectPaths: ['jasmine.options.host']
  },
});
