grunt-extdeps
Get ordered project ExtJS dependencies
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-extdeps --save-dev
One the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:
grunt;
The "extdeps" task
Overview
This task builds an ordered array of dependency paths by booting up your application in debug mode and inspecting the Ext.Loader history.
The extdeps task creates a variable named extdeps_[target]
which is an ordered array of file paths you can use in subsequent tasks.
For flexibility the extdeps task doesn't add ext-debug.js
to the list of paths it creates. This means you can add it as a static script on a CDN or something. Hence, if you want to concat and minify everything then you'll need to manually add ext-debug.js
to your concat files.
In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named extdeps
to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig()
.
