Gobble is the last build tool you'll ever need.
First things first: you don't need Grunt to run Gobble. All you need is gobble-cli and a build definition known as a gobblefile.
But if you're already using Grunt and want to integrate Gobble, or you want to manage multiple build definitions, you can do so by installing the plugin:
npm install grunt-gobble --save-devOnce the plugin has been installed, add this to your Gruntfile:
grunt.loadNpmTasks( 'grunt-gobble' );Psst! If you're looking for a more streamlined way to organise Grunt tasks and config, check out http://bit.ly/grunt-happy.
In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named gobble to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().
grunt.initConfig({
gobble: {
your_target: {
// required for building the project
dest: 'tmp/build',
// optional - which port to use if serving the project. Defaults to 4567
port: 5678,
// optional - typically 'development' or 'production'. Defaults to 'development'.
// The environment can be determined inside a build definition with `gobble.env()`
environment: 'production',
// optional - whether to always empty the contents of `dest`. If `false`, this
// task will fail if `dest` is not empty. Defaults to `false`
force: true,
// optional - a string (path to build definition, relative to project root) or a
// function that returns a gobble node. Defaults to 'gobblefile.js'
config: function () {
var gobble = require( 'gobble' );
return gobble( 'src' ).transform( 'uglify-js' );
}
},
},
});You can serve your project with the following command:
grunt gobble:your_target:serveTo build the project, omit the :serve or replace it with :build:
grunt gobble:your_targetIf you run grunt gobble without specifying a target, all targets (if there are more than one) will be built.
Usual drill - try to adhere to existing conventions, add tests for any new features. Thanks!
