grunt-lodash v0.5.1

A Grunt wrapper around the lodash command-line interface, lodash-cli.

Discontinued

This plugin has been discontinued. No further development is expected.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ^0.4.1. 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 i --save-dev grunt-lodash

Once grunt-lodash has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-lodash');

Overview

In your project’s Gruntfile, add lodash to the data object passed to grunt.initConfig:

grunt.initConfig({
  'lodash': {
    'build': {
      // output location
      'dest': 'build/lodash.build.js',
      'options': {
        // modifiers for prepared builds
        // modern, strict, compat
        'modifier': 'modern'
      }
    }
  }
});

This will produce the same output as:

$ lodash modern -o build/lodash.build.js

Finally, include lodash in your desired build task:

grunt.registerTask('build', [
  'clean:dist',
  'lodash'
]);
