grunt-smush-components

Grunt task for concatinating components assets into single files. This task relies on the 'main' key in your components.json to figure out which files are relevant. With the fileMap option, you can then create a map between a files extension and the destination output file. This project does not use requirejs or AMD It simply concatinates your files together.

Getting Started

If you haven't used grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide.

From the same directory as your project's Gruntfile and package.json, install this plugin with the following command:

npm install grunt-smush-components --save-dev

Once that's done, add this line to your project's Gruntfile:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-smush-components');

If the plugin has been installed correctly, running grunt --help at the command line should list the newly-installed plugin's task or tasks. In addition, the plugin should be listed in package.json as a devDependency, which ensures that it will be installed whenever the npm install command is run.
