Grunt'd

Grunt'd verb

~ The process of adding Grunt.js Task Runner to a project

The goal of this repo is to expedite adding Grunt to any project that requires Front-End Development work. This repo takes advantage of Javascripts module.exports functionality in order to compartmentalize and simplify the management of Grunt'd projects.

Getting Setup

Start by copying these files & directories into the desired project folder:

• assets
• build
• Gruntfile.js
• package.json

Updating Project.js

project.js contains all the project specific information for the project. Provides paths array with entries pointed to webroot, css, js and scss directories.

Tasks

Installing Grunt & Dependant Packages

If you haven't installed Grunt CLI Tools then you'll first need to run the following command.

$ npm install -g grunt-cli

After Grunt CLI is installed navigate to the root directory of the project and execute:

npm install

You should now be all ready to execute your grunt tasks.
