grunt-dump-dir  

> Grunt task to dump a dictionary (all files and their content) into a JSON object

grunt-dump-dir lets you select a directory and generates a JSON representation with keys being
filepaths and values - their content encoded in base64.

The main use case for this plugin is virtual filesystem generation for browserify projects.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.2

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-dump-dir --save-dev
`

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

`js
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-dump-dir');
`

$3

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

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

#### options.rootPath
Type: String
Default value:

A string value which is trimmed from physical path when JSON keys are created.

#### options.pre
Type: string
Default value: module.exports =

String which prefixes generated JSON. Should be used to specify the assignment. The default module.exports =
is not very functional unless the file is used as input to browserify.

Usually you should set it to something like var myVariable =

#### Default Options
If you don't specify options.rootPath:

`js
grunt.initConfig({
dump_dir: {
options: {
},
files: {
'dest.js': [ 'directory/*/' ]
},
},
});
`

the output will contain full-path keys:

`js
{
"directory/filename.txt": "base64-encoded-content",
"directory/filename2.jpg": "base64-encoded-content"
}
`

#### RootPath
If rootPath is provided:

`js
grunt.initConfig({
dump_dir: {
options: {
'rootPath': 'directory/'
},
files: {
'dest.js': [ 'directory/*/' ]
},
},
});
`

we'll get the following JSON:

`js
{
"filename.txt": "base64-encoded-content",
"filename2.jpg": "base64-encoded-content"
}
