grunt-bower-update-main


Auto-update your bower.json main property to include all your module's source files

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.5

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:

``shell
npm install grunt-bower-update-main --save-dev
`

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

`js
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-bower-update-main');
`

The "bowerUpdateMain" task

$3


In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named bowerUpdateMain to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

`js
grunt.initConfig({
bowerUpdateMain: {
options: {
// Task-specific options go here.
},
your_target: {
// Target-specific file lists and/or options go here.
},
},
});
`

$3

#### options.bowerFilename
Type: String
Default value: bower.json

Location of your bower.json file. By default, it is read from the project root.

#### options.bowerFileIndent
Type: Integer
Default value: 2

How many spaces should be used as indents within the generated bower.json file.

#### options.outputFilename
Type: String|Boolean
Default value: false

Specify an alternative location to use for the bower output file. By default, bower.json is overwritten.

#### options.useBowerIgnore
Type: Boolean
Default value: true

Whether your bower.json file's ignore property should be used to automatically exclude files from the generated
array of files for the updated main property.

$3

#### Default Options
Simplest usage - specify the location of your source files and nothing else.
In this example, all javascript files underneath the app folder are included.

`js
grunt.initConfig({
bowerUpdateMain: {
target: {
main: [
'app/*/.js'
]
}
}
});
`

#### Custom Options
This example includes all javascript in the project root except for bower and node modules

`js
grunt.initConfig({
bowerUpdateMain: {
target: {
main: [
'*/.js',
'!bower_components/*/',
'!node_modules/*/',
'!test/*/'
]
}
}
});
`
