grunt-mwat v0.0.1

grunt-mwat

Creates multiple language versions of a site based on vocab JSON files and templates. Example:

grunt.initConfig({
  mwat: {
    default: {
      options: {
        dictionary:  'vocabs'
      },
      files: {
        'destination_folder': ['templates/**.html']
      }
    }
  }
});

Will take vocab objects and templates:

templates/index.html
vocabs/english.json
vocabs/mundo.json

And create the following output:

destination_folder/english/index.html
destination_folder/mundo/index.html

The vocab objects are JSON, each property corresponds to a variable in the template file...

{
foo: "bar"
}

<p><%= foo %></p>

It uses lodash's template engine.

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 install grunt-mwat --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-mwat');
