lint
Ensures all your code conforms to JSHint.
Not implemented:list
Shows a tree of your application's modules and dependencies.
Build
These commmands help you build your application.
debug
Lints all your JavaScript, compiles all your templates to JST (JavaScript Templates), builds your application using RequireJS build tool (figures out dependencies and concatenates all files), and then finally concatenates the templates and application together. This task also swaps out RequireJS for Almond (signficantly smaller filesize AMD manager).
release
Everything that debug command does, except the final tasks here are minified CSS and minified JavaScript.
clean
Cleans files and directories
Not implemented:handlebars
Compiles handlebars templates - this requires setup.
Not implemented:jst
Compiles all templates as underscore template functions and outputs them to
dist/debug/templates.js
.
less
Compiles LESS stylesheets.
mincss
Minifies your CSS into dist/release/index.css
.
'coffee'
Compiles your CS files into JS
'stylus'
Compiles your stylus files into css
'zip'
Zips a directory or files
'copy'
Copies files and directories
requirejs
Builds out your application using the defaults specified into the root
grunt.js
file.
Not implemented:server
Will by default run with normal files perfect for development and debugging.
Not implemented:server:debug
This command serves the same files excepts that your application is mapped to
the dist/debug
directory. This is mostly useful for detecting issues with the
build, since files are not minified.
Not implemented:server:release
This command will serve the same was debug except mapping to dist/release
instead. This setup is how your application should be deployed.
Not implemented: templatize
