skavatest-gruntclean v0.6.1

grunt-contrib-clean v0.6.0

Clean files and folders.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.0

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-contrib-clean --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-clean');

This plugin was designed to work with Grunt 0.4.x. If you're still using grunt v0.3.x it's strongly recommended that you upgrade, but in case you can't please use v0.3.2.

Clean task

Run this task with the grunt clean command.

Task targets, files and options may be specified according to the grunt Configuring tasks guide.

Due to the destructive nature of this task, always be cautious of the paths you clean.

Options

force

Type: Boolean
Default: false

This overrides this task from blocking deletion of folders outside current working dir (CWD). Use with caution.

no-write

Type: Boolean
Default: false

Will log messages of what would happen if the task was ran but doesn't actually delete the files.

Usage Examples

There are three formats you can use to run this task.

Short

clean: ["path/to/dir/one", "path/to/dir/two"]

Medium (specific targets with global options)

clean: {
  build: ["path/to/dir/one", "path/to/dir/two"],
  release: ["path/to/another/dir/one", "path/to/another/dir/two"]
},

Long (specific targets with per target options)

clean: {
  build: {
    src: ["path/to/dir/one", "path/to/dir/two"]
  }
}

Skipping Files

// Deletes all .js files, but skips min.js files
clean: {
  js: ["path/to/dir/*.js", "!path/to/dir/*.min.js"]
}

"Compact" and "Files Array" formats support a few additional properties which help you deal with hidden files, process dynamic mappings and so on.
