load-grunt-tasks 

> Load multiple grunt tasks using globbing patterns

Usually you would have to load each task one by one, which is unnecessarily cumbersome.

This module will read the dependencies/devDependencies/peerDependencies/optionalDependencies in your package.json and load grunt tasks that match the provided patterns.

#### Before

``js
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-shell');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-sass');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-recess');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-sizediff');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-svgmin');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-styl');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-php');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-eslint');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-concurrent');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-bower-requirejs');
`

#### After

`js
require('load-grunt-tasks')(grunt);
`

Install

`
$ npm install --save-dev load-grunt-tasks
`

Usage

`js
// Gruntfile.js
module.exports = grunt => {
// Load all grunt tasks matching the ['grunt-', '@/grunt-*'] patterns
require('load-grunt-tasks')(grunt);

grunt.initConfig({});
grunt.registerTask('default', []);
};
`

Examples

$3

`js
require('load-grunt-tasks')(grunt);
`

Equivalent to:

`js
require('load-grunt-tasks')(grunt, {pattern: ['grunt-', '@/grunt-*']});
`

$3

`js
require('load-grunt-tasks')(grunt, {pattern: 'grunt-contrib-*'});
`

$3

`js
require('load-grunt-tasks')(grunt, {pattern: ['grunt-contrib-*', 'grunt-shell']});
`

$3

You can exclude tasks using the negate ! globbing pattern:

`js
require('load-grunt-tasks')(grunt, {pattern: ['grunt-contrib-*', '!grunt-contrib-coffee']});
`

$3

`js
require('load-grunt-tasks')(grunt, {config: '../package'});
`

$3

`js
require('load-grunt-tasks')(grunt, {scope: 'devDependencies'});
`

$3

`js
require('load-grunt-tasks')(grunt, {scope: ['devDependencies', 'dependencies']});
`

$3

`js
require('load-grunt-tasks')(grunt, {
pattern: 'grunt-contrib-*',
config: '../package.json',
scope: 'devDependencies',
requireResolution: true
});
`

Traverse up the file hierarchy looking for dependencies like require(), rather than the default grunt-like behavior of loading tasks only in the immediate node_modules` directory.
