grunt-merge-json

Grunt Task for Merging Multiple JSON Files

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.0

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-merge-json --save-dev
`

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

`js
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-merge-json');
`

Task Options

- replacer: (default null) the replacer argument for JSON.stringify() (second argument).
- space: (default \t) the space argument for JSON.stringify() (third argument).

Merge JSON Task

_Run this task with the grunt merge-json command._

Task targets, files and options may be specified according to the Grunt
Configuring tasks guide.

Usage Example

Assuming we have the following types of source JSON files:

- src/foo/foo-en.json:

`json
{
"foo": {
"title": "The Foo",
"name": "A wonderful component"
}
}
`

- src/bar/bar-en.json:

`json
{
"bar": {
"title": "The Bar",
"name": "An even more wonderful component"
}
}
`

Assuming we want to generate the following destination JSON file:

`json
{
"foo": {
"title": "The Foo",
"name": "A wonderful component"
},
"bar": {
"title": "The Bar",
"name": "An even more wonderful component"
}
}
`
