grunt-setmymode v0.3.2
grunt-setmymode
finds all files and directories under a given directory, and sets their permissions if owned by executing user
Why?
I work with several teammates on a shared development web server. As we deploy our code, it is important that we
can write to directories others have created and can overwrite files that the others may have installed. The
"mode" option of grunt-contrib-copy is insufficient for two main reasons:
1. files and directories typically need different modes (see enhancement #152)
2. a chmod
is attempted regardless of need. This fails on files that the current user doesn't own.
This plugin addresses both issues. It allows you to specify a mode each for files and directories,
and will only chmod
on files the current user owns (the "my" in the plugin name), and only
when the mode isn't already at the given setting.
Getting Started
This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.4
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-setmymode --save-dev
Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-setmymode');
The "setmymode" task
Overview
In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named setmymode
to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig()
.
grunt.initConfig({
setmymode: {
options: {
// Task-specific options go here.
},
your_target: {
// Target-specific file lists and/or options go here.
},
},
});
Options
options.directory
Type: String
Default value: none
All files and directories under, and including, directory
will have the appropriate mode applied.
options.files
Type: Array
Default value: none
Additional, individual files to which the given mode will be applied.
options.modeDirs
Type: String
Default value: 2771
the octal mode setting for directories
options.modeDirs
Type: String
Default value: 0664
the octal mode setting for files
Usage Examples
Default Options
In this example, the default options are used to set permissions on the /var/www/myclient
web server directory.
grunt.initConfig({
setmymode: {
options: {
directory: "/var/www/myclient"
},
main: {}
},
});
Custom Options
In this example, custom options are used to set permissions on the /var/www/myclient
web server directory without the setgid bit.
grunt.initConfig({
setmymode: {
options: {
directory: "/var/www/myclient"
},
main: {
modeDirs: "0771"
}
},
});
Additional Files
In this example, custom options are used to set permissions on the /var/www/myclient
web server directory without the setgid bit.
grunt.initConfig({
setmymode: {
options: {
directory: "/var/www/myclient"
},
main: {
modeDirs: "0771"
files: [ "/var/www/favicon.ico" ]
}
},
});
Contributing
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.
