grunt-async-jade-data v0.1.1
grunt-async-jade-data
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-async-jade-data --save-dev
Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-async-jade-data');
The "async_jade_data" task
Overview
In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named async_jade_data
to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig()
.
grunt.initConfig({
async_jade_data: {
options: {
data: {
// Global configuration goes here
}
},
your_target: {
options: {
data: {
// Target specific data goes here
}
}
},
},
});
Options
options.global
Type: Boolean
Default value: false
A flag to tell if the global data should be used in this target
options.data
Type: Object
Default value: {}
This object contains the functions that should be called to fill the jade
data object
Usage Examples
Target options
In this example, a configuration file is loaded from the file system.
grunt.initConfig({
async_jade_data: {
publish: {
options: {
data: {
config: function(done) {
var fs = require("fs");
fs.readFile(__dirname + '/config.json', function(err, data) {
if(!err) {
data = JSON.parse(data)
done(data);
}
});
}
}
}
}
},
});
Using global options
In this example, the target specific and global data are combined. Note that the target will override the global
grunt.initConfig({
async_jade_data: {
data: {
language_params: function(done) {
var fs = require("fs");
fs.readFile(__dirname + '/language_params.json', function(err, data) {
if(!err) {
data = JSON.parse(data)
done(data);
}
});
}
}
publish: {
options: {
global: true //This tells the task to use the global options as well
data: {
config: function(done) {
var fs = require("fs");
fs.readFile(__dirname + '/config.json', function(err, data) {
if(!err) {
data = JSON.parse(data)
done(data);
}
});
}
}
}
}
},
});

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.
