|
## Grunt
|
|
|
|
`Grunt` is a JavaScript Task Runner you can use to automate repetitive tasks.
|
|
|
|
### Why Use Grunt?
|
|
|
|
There are many repetitive tasks in web development. For example: compiling, minifying, and copying files. Doing these tasks manually takes a lot of effort and time.
|
|
|
|
You will make your job easier with Grunt. You only need to configure the tasks through a <a href='https://gruntjs.com/sample-gruntfile' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Gruntfile</a>.
|
|
|
|
### Getting Started
|
|
|
|
1. Install <a href='https://www.npmjs.org/' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>npm</a>.
|
|
2. Install Grunt's command line interface (CLI) globally with `npm install -g grunt-cli`.
|
|
3. List Grunt and the Grunt plugins as devDependencies in a `package.json` file.
|
|
4. Install Grunt and the Grunt plugins with `npm i`.
|
|
5. Configure tasks in a `Gruntfile.js` file.
|
|
6. Run Grunt with `grunt`.
|
|
|
|
### Example
|
|
|
|
Below is an example of a `package.json` and `Gruntfile.js` to do the following tasks:
|
|
|
|
1. Minify HTML files.
|
|
2. Add vendor prefixes and minify CSS file.
|
|
3. Concatenate and minify JavaScript files.
|
|
4. Minify images.
