Gamajo Tech WordPress Theme Tasks

Grunt package that holds configuration options and automated tasks configurations for Gamajo Tech's WordPress Themes.

Built upon the work done by Brady Vercher at Cedaro WordPress Theme Configuration and Rob Neu at Flagship WordPress Theme Config and WP Site Care WordPress Theme Config.

NPM 3 Required

This package requires NPM 3 to install. NPM 3 is (was?) still currently in beta, so to install, use:

$ npm install -g npm@3.0-latest

When it's out of beta then you should update to the latest version:

$ npm update npm -g

NPM 3 doesn't support peerDependencies, but does install dependencies in a flattened model.

Checks

While this package provides Grunt configurations for themes, it can also self-check those configurations and the config files for this package.

• Run jsonlint, jsvalidate, jshint and jscs on this package's config files.

  $ grunt self

• Run jsvalidate, jshint and jscs on the theme config and task files.

  $ grunt themeconfigs

• Run both of the above.

  $ grunt

Theme package.json

A typical theme package.json file may look like:

{
  "name": "gamajo",
  "capitalname": "Gamajo",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "private": true,
  "theme": {
    "name": "Gamajo",
    "uri": "https://gamajo.com/",
    "description": "Gamajo, Genesis Framework child theme for gamajo.com.",
    "author": "Gary Jones, Gamajo Tech",
    "authoruri": "https://gamajo.com",
    "tags": "",
    "license": "GPL-2.0+",
    "licenseuri": "http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html",
    "template": "genesis",
    "textdomain": "gamajo",
    "domainpath": "/languages"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "load-cedaro-grunt-config": "cedaro/load-cedaro-grunt-config#develop",
    "wp-theme-tasks": "gamajo/wp-theme-tasks#master"
  }
}

Note the devDependencies - one dependency that loads Grunt configs, and one dependency that includes this Grunt config.

Theme Gruntfile.js

A typical Gruntfile.js should look something like:

/*jshint require,node:true */
/*global module*/
module.exports = function( grunt ) {
	'use strict';

	var config = require( 'wp-theme-tasks' );
	require( 'load-cedaro-grunt-config' )( grunt, config ).init();
};

Overrides

You can override the default configuration of wp-theme-tasks, to customise it for your own theme. Your Gruntfile.js might look something like:

/*jshint require,node:true */
/*global module*/
module.exports = function( grunt ) {
	'use strict';

	var config = require( 'wp-theme-tasks' );

	// Merge in extra settings.
	config.settings({
		paths: {
			foo: 'bar'
		},
		files: {
			'yaml': '**/*.yml'
		}
	});

	// Merge in task map settings for additional grunt packages.
	config.taskMap({
		sometask: 'grunt-differenttask'
	});

	require( 'load-cedaro-grunt-config' )( grunt, config ).init();
};

Stability

Since this is still a work in progress, consider it 0.something, and therefore not stable.
