npm install grunt-zip-directories --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-zip-directories');

    your_target: {
      // Target-specific file lists and/or options go here.
    },
  },
});

Usage Examples

In this example, we find all top level folders in the irep directory, they will then be zipped including all files inside to irep/zips, the name of the zip will be the name of the original folder.

grunt.initConfig({
  zip_directories: {
	irep: {
      files: [{
        filter: 'isDirectory',
        expand: true,
        cwd: './irep',
        src: ['*'],
        dest: './irep'
      }]
    }
  },
});

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.
