grunt-stripcomments


> Remove comments from code

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-stripcomments --save-dev
`

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

`js
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-stripcomments');
`

The "comments" task

$3

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

`js
grunt.initConfig({
comments: {
your_target: {
// Target-specific file lists and/or options go here.
options: {
singleline: true,
multiline: true,
keepSpecialComments: false
},
src: [ 'src/*.js'] // files to remove comments from
},
},
});
`

$3

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

Determines whether or not to remove comments starting with /*!.

Note: NO special comments should be removed if the code is not yours. Special comments are used as attribution and you should consult with the authors before even considering stripping them from the source.

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

Determines whether or not to remove single line comments

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

Determines whether or not to remove multi line comments

$3

`js
grunt.initConfig({
comments: {
js: {
options: {
singleline: true,
multiline: false
},
src: [ 'src/*.js' ]
},
php: {
options: {
singleline: true,
multiline: true
},
src: [ 'lib/*.php' ]
}
},
});
