standalone-grunt-runner

A method of running Grunt tasks without a Gruntfile.js.

Installation

npm install standalone-grunt-runner

Usage

Install the Grunt task you wish to use standalone as you usually would. Then, include standalone-grunt-runner and execute the task through that.

For instance, with grunt-download-atom-shell:

var standaloneGruntRunner = require('standalone-grunt-runner');

standaloneGruntRunner('download-atom-shell', {
  config: {
    version: '0.12.2',
    outputDir: './cache'
  },
  npm: 'grunt-download-atom-shell'
});

Options

• base - The directory for Grunt works in. By default it is set to the current working directory the process was started in.
• config - The configuration for the task which mimics the typical configuration used for any ordinary Grunt task.
• npm - The name of the npm package for the Grunt task.
