grunt-dev-prod-switch

NPM

Use to switch between previously defined comment blocks in project files to change environment from development to production and back.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.1

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-dev-prod-switch --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-dev-prod-switch');

The "dev_prod_switch" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named dev_prod_switch to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
    
...
    
    dev_prod_switch: {
        options: {
            environment: 'dev',
            env_char: '#',
            env_block_dev: 'env:dev',
            env_block_prod: 'env:prod'
        },
        all: {
            files: {
                'app/index.html': 'app/index.html',
                'app/js/main.js': 'app/js/main.js'
            }
        }
    }
    
...
    
});

Or

grunt.initConfig({
    
...
    
    dev_prod_switch: {
        options: {
            // Can be ran as `grunt --env=dev` or ``grunt --env=prod``
            environment: grunt.option('env') || 'dev', // 'prod' or 'dev'
            env_char: '#',
            env_block_dev: 'env:dev',
            env_block_prod: 'env:prod'
        },
        dynamic_mappings: {
            files: [{
                expand: true,
                cwd: './',
                src: ['*.html'],
                dest: './'
            }]
        }
    }
 
...
    
});

In html or ColdFusion type of files place the code depending on environment as follows:

...

<!-- env:dev -->
    <h1>For devs eyes only</h1>
    <p>This will be visable in 'dev' environment</p>
<!-- env:dev:end -->


<!-- env:prod -->
    <h1>For everyone</h1>
    <p>This will be visable in 'prod' environment</p>
<!-- env:prod:end -->

...

In C, Java, JavaScript type of files place the code depending on environment as follows:

...

/* env:dev */
    function add(a,b) { 
        console.log('ADD: ' + a + ' + ' + b + ' = ' + (a + b));
        return a+b;
    }
/* env:dev:end */


/* env:prod */
    function add(a,b) { 
        return a+b;
    }
/* env:prod:end */

...
