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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-demux-file');

Overview

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

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