Grunt Cookbook (The Book + Code Samples)
Grunt Cookbook
Effective Recipes To Master Grunt
About the Book
Finally a build tool for JavaScript has arrived. No more hacked up Ant, make, rake files to validate, build and test JavaScript and web projects.
This cookbook is full of all sorts of quick and simple recipes to help do those common tasks. Use it to learn how to get started, see more advanced topics, or just keep it as a helpful reference guide for all the grunt tasks. You'll get to see:
- Validating your JavaScript for common errors
- Compiling, concatenating and compressing JavaScript, CSS and HTML
- Generating docs with embedded runnable examples
- Add code coverage to any tests
- Pop up desktop notifications when tasks complete
- Running grunt tasks in Jenkins
- Run grunt tasks in git precommit
- and many more...
The book covers using Grunt on most frameworks including Angular, jQuery, Backbone and Sencha.

The Book + Code Samples
Get the ebook and a zip with examples for nearly all the recipe's in the book. If you're anything like me, you'll want to see real working examples, demonstrating: (1) The final Gruntfile.js for each recipe. (2) Where the source files are on disk for the given configuration. (3) Where the output will get written to. (4) Any additional files that are sometimes just "obvious" to developers, but not to beginners. All the recipe's in the book were written around these examples to make sure you don't get some half broken, outdated code. With these examples you'll get to see them in action with the right dependencies at the time of writing. They're based around the Todo MVC project (http://todomvc.com/) and each one is packaged as a Git repository with multiple branches so you can see the different stages and configurations in each recipe in a single place.
