Grunt loader v0.1.1

A modular approach for grunt configuration. Forget about your Gruntfile.

This project aims to simplify your Gruntfile configuration by simply dropping stand-alone YAML configuration files at grunt/contrib/{package}.yaml, and tasks at grunt/tasks/{taskname}.yaml.

Please submit your questions, ideas or wathever here at github issues.

How to use

  1. Add 'grunt-loader' dependency on your package.json:

     "devDependencies": {
     ...
     "grunt-loader": "0.1.1"
 }

  2. Configure your Gruntfile once. It should looks like this:

    module.exports = function(grunt) { require('grunt-loader').load(grunt); };

  3. Customize your contrib-* things and tasks at grunt/contrib and grunt/tasks directories.

Directory structure

Take a look at the example directory on this repository. It's important that you follow exactly the same directory structure:

project-root/
├── grunt/
|   ├── contrib/    # contrib definitions
|   └── tasks/      # custom tasks
|       └── default.yaml
├── Gruntfile.js
└── package.json

YAML vs JSON config

IMHO, YAML format are easier to read than JSON. You'll need to convert your configurations from JSON to YAML, which is fine in most cases.
