#Overview A grunt plugin for bumping a version property in JSON files

#Getting Started The plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.2

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-version-bump --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-version-bump');

The "version_bump" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named version_bump.

grunt.initConfig({
  version_bump: {
    files: ['package.json', 'component.json', 'somefile.txt']
  }
});

Usage

grunt version_bump

There is a default version string structure, but you can provide your own structure.

By default, the part with the lowest priority gets bumped. In the default version string structure that would be the build part.

You can specify a different increment type in 1st argument:

grunt version_bump:[incrementType]

The default version string structure pattern is

<major>.<minor>.<patch>-<stage>.<build>

Available increment types provided in the default version string strucutre: Let's assume current version is 1.2.3-SNAPSHOT.4

    grunt version_bump:major // 2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.1
    grunt version_bump:build // 2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.2
    grunt version_bump:minor // 2.1.0-SNAPSHOT.1
    grunt version_bump:build // 2.1.0-SNAPSHOT.2
    grunt version_bump:patch // 2.1.1-SNAPSHOT.1
    grunt version_bump:build // 2.1.1-SNAPSHOT.2
    grunt version_bump:stage // 2.1.0-alpha.1
    grunt version_bump:build // 2.1.0-alpha.2
    grunt version_bump:stage // 2.1.0-beta.1
    grunt version_bump:stage // 2.1.0-RELEASE.1
    grunt version_bump:major --condition=stage:alpha // 2.1.0-RELEASE.1
    grunt version_bump:major --condition=minor:1 // 2.2.0-RELEASE.1

As can be seen, bumping a part results in resetting all parts of lower priority. The priority order of the default version string strcuture is major, minor, stage, patch, build.
