Change asset paths inside css files based on output from grunt-filerev, grunt-hashmap, or other similar plugins
npm install grunt-cssurlrev> Change asset paths inside css files based on output from grunt-filerev, grunt-hashmap, or other similar plugins
>=0.4.0If 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-cssurlrev --save-dev
Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:
`js`
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-cssurlrev');
The two that are directly compatible are grunt.filerev and grunt.hashmap, but most others will probably work as well, as long as they output a json file of lookups from original filenames to the new filename or just it's hash.
Please note that it modifies files in place at present.
In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named cssurlrev to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().
`js`
grunt.initConfig({
cssurlrev: {
options: {
assets: 'path/to/assets.json'
},
your_target: {
src: ['public/css/*.css']
},
},
})
#### options.assets
Type: Stringnull
Default value:
A file path that is used to load a json object from. If empty (default), then grunt.filerev.summary is used to modify url paths.
#### options.prefix
Type: Stringnull
Default value:
A prefix to add to each url as it is replaced. Useful for complex build processes where files are moved around after revving.
#### options.hashmap_rename
Type: String or Booleannull
Default value:
This option enables compatibility with grunt.hashmap. If set to true, the default renaming scheme will be used. Otherwise, it should be set to the same naming scheme used for grunt.hashmap. It makes sense to use a template tag to use it directly (see example below).
#### Default Options
In this example, files matching public/css/*.css are modified to have any links to assets modified with grunt.filerev.summary updated.
`js`
grunt.initConfig({
cssurlrev: {
files: {
src: ['public/css/*.css'],
},
},
})
#### Hashmap Example
This example shows how to use it with grunt.hashmap and a more customized file renaming scheme.
`js``
grunt.initConfig({
hashmap: {
options: {
output: 'assets/hashmap.json',
rename: '#{= dirname}/#{= hash}.#{= basename}#{= extname}',
keep: false,
hashlen: 6
},
all: {
cwd: 'public',
src: '*/.{css,js,pdf,eps,png,jpg,jpeg,gif,eot,svg,ttf,woff}',
dest: 'public'
}
},
cssurlrev: {
options: {
assets: '<%= hashmap.options.output %>',
hashmap_rename: '<%= hashmap.options.rename %>'
},
files: {
src: ['public/css/*.css'],
},
},
})
