grunt-ripple-emulator

Grunt task for the ripple emulator for Cordova/PhoneGap projects.

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:

npm install grunt-ripple-emulator --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-ripple-emulator');

The "ripple_emulator" task

Overview

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

grunt.initConfig({
  ripple: {
    options: {
      // Task-specific options go here.
    },
    your_target: {
      // Target-specific file lists and/or options go here.
    },
  },
})

Options

options.path

Type: String Default value: 'www'

Path to your your Cordova / PhoneGap's main www directory (relative to your Gruntfile).

options.port

Type: Integer Default value: 4400

Port that ripple will server your application on.

options.open

Type: Boolean Default value: true

If true opens your app in the browser with ripple enabled.

options.keepAlive

Type: Boolean Default value: false

If true the task will keep running (keep your ripple server running).

NOTE If you are using grunt-contrib-watch (or something similar) then you'll want to set keepAlive: false.

Usage Examples

Serve the application from dist folder on port 9005 and keep the ripple server running.

grunt.initConfig({
  ripple: {
    options: {
        path: 'dist',
        port: '9005',
        keepAlive: true
    }
  },
})

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.
