@andyet/grunt-contrib-now

This is the grunt plugin for &yet's ziet/now builds It copies over the now.json from the project root into the build directory and does some cursory checking of the alias(es) to prevent clobbering of production domains in staging/development. Because of this it only copies the file over if CI is set to true, where we can be at least a little more sure we have things set properly every time.

Mostly what this file does now is adds production and staging aliases to the now.json file. It can do more in the future if we want.

usage

Load:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-andyet-now');

Configure:

grunt.initConfig({
  nowjson: {
    options: {
      ci: (process.env.DRONE === 'true')
    }
  }
});

This plugin is now available as nowjson. To add it to an existing build for example:

grunt.registerTask('build' [
  'clean',
  'browserify',
  'nowjson'
]);
