grunt-fastly

A Grunt plugin to purge cache from Fastly

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ^1.0.1

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-fastly --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-fastly');

grunt.initConfig({
  fastly: {
    options: {
      key: 'your api key'
    },
    production: {
      options: {
        purgeAll: true,
        serviceId: 'production service id from Fastly'

    },
    production: {
      options: {
