grunt-remotefile

The best Grunt plugin ever.

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-remotefile --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-remotefile');

The "remotefile" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named remotefile to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
    remotefile: {
      remote_file_task: {
        url: '', // remote source url
        dest: '' // local dest path
      },
    },
})

Usage Examples

grunt.initConfig({
    remotefile: {
      jquery: {
          url:'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js',
          dest:'dist/jquery.min.js'
      },
      "jquery_ui": {
          url:'http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.2/jquery-ui.js',
          dest:'dist/jquery-ui.min.js'
      }
    }
    concat: {
        dist: {
            src: [
                '<%= remotefile.jquery.dest %>',
                '<%= remotefile.jquery_ui.dest %>'
            ],
            dest: 'dist/jquery_ui.merge.js'
        }
    }
});
