grunt-reveal-jade v0.0.5

grunt-reveal-jade

Use server side Jade templates to create Reveal.js slideshows using Grunt.

The idea is that all you have to include is grunt-reveal-jade as a dependency, and you can simply create slides in a Jade file, livereload as you edit, and pick themes (and down the road other Reveal options) in your Gruntfile.

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 install grunt-reveal-jade --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-reveal-jade');

Or you can install all grunt npms using the matchdep npm and:

require('matchdep').filterDev('grunt-*').forEach(grunt.loadNpmTasks);

The "reveal" task

Overview

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

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

Options

• slides: the directory you will store your Jade files in.
  • default: "slides"
• build: the directory the HTML slides we be placed into
  • default: "build"
• temp: the directory and intermediate build is placed. This directory is created and deleted before the completion of the build task. * default: "temp"
• assets: Directory that will be adding from your root to the build, for images, etc.
  • default: "assets"
• cleanBuild: a boolean indicating whether the build directory should be deleted before a new build. * default: true
• livereload: a boolean indicating whether the lr snippet script include tag included (you can also add the lr script via connect middleware to be less invassive to the build) * default: false
• title: The title tag for the slideshow
• description: Meta tag description for the slideshow
• author: Author meta for the slideshow
• theme: The Reveal theme for the slideshow
  • default: "default"
• syntax: The syntax highlight css for the slideshow
  • default: "zenburn"

I'll be adding more options to pass through to RevealJS. To see an example of how to hook up live reload with RevealJS see this Gruntifle.

I'll be adding a grunt-init with livereload options soon.

Usage Examples

Default Options

grunt.initConfig({
  reveal: {
    mySlides: {}
  },
})

To run use grunt reveal
