grunt-filerev-apply

Replaces paths to unrevved files with the output of grunt-filerev.

There are a large number of grunt plugins for either revving files or replacing the references to the those files with their revved paths, but, other than grunt-usemin (which has its own batch of complications), no plugin seemed to do an adequate job of either replacing such references, or explaining how to do so.

Dependencies

This plugin can only replace references for files revved by grunt-filerev.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt.

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:

npm install grunt-filerev-apply --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-filerev-apply');

The "filerev_apply" task

Overview

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

grunt.initConfig({
  filerev_apply: {
    options: {
      // Task-specific options go here.
    },
    your_target: {
      files: [
        // The files to search for unrevved asset paths to replace with their revved counterparts. If the path is anything other than `.`, you'll need to specify `options.prefix` as explained below.
      ]
    },
  },
})

Options

options.prefix

Type: String Default value: ''

The string to strip from the beginning of each found revved file before search for it in the specified files. options.prefix will likely be used in the majority of cases.

Usage Examples

Default Options

In this example, the default options are used to replace asset references in index.html in the home directory.

In this example, the default options are used to do something with whatever. So if the testing file has the content Testing and the 123 file had the content 1 2 3, the generated result would be Testing, 1 2 3.

grunt.initConfig({
  filerev_apply: {
    files: {
      'index.html': 'index.html'
    },
  },
})

Custom Options

In this example, all built assets have been placed in the dist directory and we want to search all files that might reference them.

grunt.initConfig({
  filerev_apply: {
    options: {
      prefix: 'dist'
    },
    files: [
      {
        expand: true,
        cwd: 'dist',
        src: ['**/*.{html,js,css}'],
        dest: 'dist'
      }
    ]
  },
})

Contributing

In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint and test your code using Grunt.
