hum NPM version Build Status Dependency Status

Play with grunt.

Features

  • hum could run grunt inside a specified cwd and search tasks from the given paths.
  • hum instances will be executed in series to prevent grunt (which is composed of global variables and singletons) fucking up with himself.
  • hum provides a programmatical way to run grunt tasks.

Installation

npm install hum --save

Usage

Actually, hum is an alternative of Gruntfile.js and supplies a bunch of promise-style APIs.

With hum, you could replace the code inside 'Gruntfile.js' with hum methods, and search available tasks only from your specified paths, as well as the PATH and NODE_PATH do.

So, it becomes possible for you to run a same tier of tasks for severial different projects.

var hum = require('hum');
 
hum({
    path: '</path/to/search>',
    cwd: 
})
.npmTasks('my-task')
.task('blah') // blah is defined in my-task
.init({
    // task name
    blah: {
        // target must be defined
        test: {
        }
    }
})
.options({
    verbose: true
})
.done(function(err){
})
