grunt-shrinkwrapsy

Grunt task for shrink wrapping your project's dependencies via npm shrinkwrap

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.2

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-shrinkwrapsy --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-shrinkwrapsy');

The "shrinkwrapsy" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, the shrinkwrapsy task is available to use.

You can run grunt shrinkwrapsy standalone Or add it to an existing task: grunt.registerTask('test', ['clean', 'shrinkwrapsy']);

Options

The shrinkwrapsy-task currently has seven options.

{
  prune: true,
  afterHooks: [],
  beforeHooks: [],
  devDependencies: true,
  withoutDependencies: [],
  withoutDevDependencies: [],
  withoutPeerDependencies: []
}

prune

If set to true prune npm's dependencies before generating a shrinkwrap.

beforeHooks

A little array of shell commands which will be ran through shelljs before the any other operation is ran. Maybe useful for cleaning up some files or even removing some of npm's dependencies.

afterHooks

Kinda the same as beforeHooks only that it - wait for it - runs after all commands have finished running.

devDependencies

Another boolean-flag indicating if the shrinkwrap should include npm's development dependencies. It transforms into the --dev-flag.

withoutDependencies

An [] of dependencies names which shall be removed from the generated npm-shrinkwrap.json. Might sound a bit woozy but is applicable in cases you e.g. want to symlink forked repositories.

withoutDevDependencies

Same as the above only for the devDependencies of the npm-shrinkwrap.json.

withoutPeerDependencies

Again, same as the above only for the peerDependencies of the npm-shrinkwrap.json.
