      options: {
        root: "app/includes",
        context: {
          DEBUG: true
        }
      },
      files: {
        "build/main.js": "app/main.js"
      }
    }
  }
});

Example #2

Concat multiple files and process them

  preprocessor: {
    main: {
      options: {
        root: "app/includes",
        context: {
          DEBUG: true
        }
      },
      files: {
        "build/main.js": "app/main.js",
        "build/extras.js": ["app/libs.js", "app/additional.js"],
