grunt-reconfigure

Grunt Task to override other configuration options.

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-reconfigure --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-reconfigure');

This plugin was designed to work with Grunt 0.4.x. If you're still using grunt v0.3.x it's strongly recommended that you upgrade, but in case you can't please use v0.3.2.

Reconfigure task

Run this task with the grunt reconfigure command.
This task is designed to be run as part of a chain (ex. grunt reconfigure:dev coffee jade)

This task looks for a key in the options object in any Grunt task config called reconfigureOverrides. Within that object should be any number of arbitrarily named keys corresponding to the "environment" you wish those options to take effect in. For example, if you have a Jade config that looks like this:

{
  jade: {
    index: {
      options: {
        reconfigureOverrides: {
          dev: {
            pretty: true
          },
          dist: {
            pretty: false
          }
        }
      },
      files: {
        "public/index.html": "src/jade/index.jade"
      }
    }
  }
}

Then running Grunt with grunt reconfigure:dev jade will compile your Jade templates with pretty: true. Any options set outside of the override object will be treated normally.
