Grunt is a renowned JavaScript task runner. This package provides a way to invoke grunt tasks without needing a separate shell or buffer management per task or project.
Use MELPA: M-x package-install <RET> grunt <RET>. Or, get grunt.el
in your load-path and do a (require 'grunt).
Figure out what keybinding you'd like to bind grunt-exec to, or just
invoke it via M-x while your current buffer is in a repo with a
Gruntfile somewhere.
;; currently experimenting with "C-M-g"
(global-set-key (kbd "C-M-g") 'grunt-exec)
It'll try to find your Gruntfile and suggest tasks to run if it can
find them. Although grunt.el only knows how to find registered
tasks, you can also enter in any valid Grunt task at the prompt.
It'll traverse upwards from your current working directory in search of a Gruntfile, or bail out if it can't find one.
If you have a long running task like serve or watch, you can
re-run it from grunt-exec and we'll automatically kill your existing
process buffer before starting a new process. This is not the same
behavior as in previous versions; see C-h v
grunt-kill-existing-buffer for more information. For the old behavior,
(setq grunt-kill-existing-buffer nil)
There's clearly tons of room for improvement - in particular, it'd be
great to dip into the AST from js2-mode and parse out all of the
valid tasks instead of hackily doing a (string-match) for
registerTask.
To run tests, use Cask:
$ cask install
$ cask exec ert-runner
