Options

namespace

Type: String Default: 'myjson'

The namespace in which the json data will be assigned.

includePath

Type: Boolean Default: false

Includes the full path of the file and the extension. By default only the file name is used as the key value.

processName

Type: function Default: null

This option accepts a function which takes one argument (filename) and returns a string which will be used as the key for the object. The example below stores all json data on the default myjson namespace in capital letters.

options: {
  processName: function(filename) {
    return filename.toUpperCase();
  }
}

#commonjs Type: Boolean Default: false

Exports the namespace which the json has been assigned too. module.exports =

Usage Examples

json: {
    main: {
        options: {
            namespace: 'myjson',
            includePath: true,
            processName: function(filename) {
                return filename.toLowerCase();
            }
        },
        src: ['path/to/source/**/*.json'],
        dest: 'path/to/compiled/json.js'
    }
}

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.
