When building a yeoman generator. Given, my index.js contains:
...
prompting: function () {
var done = this.async();
// have Yeoman greet the user
this.log(this.yeoman);
var questions = [
{
name: 'value',
message: 'Give me some value?'
},
];
this.prompt(questions, function (answers) {
this.value = answers.value;
done();
}.bind(this));
},
...
writing: function () {
this.copy("_Gruntfile.js", "Gruntfile.js");
}
...
and my answer to the prompt 'Give me some value?' is "test". How do I use the value from the prompt in the _Gruntfile to generate:
uglify: {
dist: {
files: {
'<%= yeoman.dist %>/test.min.js': ['<%= yeoman.dist %>/test.js']
}
}
},
I've tried:
uglify: {
dist: {
files: {
'<%= yeoman.dist %>/<%% value%>.min.js': ['<%= yeoman.dist %>/<%value%>.js']
}
}
},
and
uglify: {
dist: {
files: {
'<%= yeoman.dist %>/<%= value%>.min.js': ['<%= yeoman.dist %>/<%= value%>.js']
}
}
},
to get the generator to replace <%% value%> or <%= value%> with "test" but nothing happens when it's run. The second option works when used in my _bower.json. e.g "name": "<%= value%>" becomes "name": "test"
this.copy() just copies the file, you should instead use this.template() to parse it:
this.template("_Gruntfile.js", "Gruntfile.js");
