In my gruntfile.js I am using bower install to create the necessary script tags in my index.html for all my js libraries. My grunt file entry looks like this:
bowerInstall: {
target: {
src: ['wwwroot/index.html'],
cwd: '',
dependencies: true,
devDependencies: true,
exclude: [],
fileTypes: {},
ignorePath: '',
overrides: {}
}
}
My index.html gets correctly updated from my index.html.tpl as seen here:
<head>
<!-- bower:js -->
<script src="../bower_components/jquery/dist/jquery.js"></script>
<script src="../bower_components/angular/angular.js"></script>
<script src="../bower_components/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.js"></script>
<script src="../bower_components/underscore/underscore.js"></script>
<!-- endbower -->
<!-- bower:css -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../bower_components/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css" />
<!-- endbower -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="wwwroot/app/styles/style.css" />
What I want to happen is to copy all js library files to a specific lib directory, and then link them from there. Can this be accomplished with bower install or is there another grunt plug-in I should be using? The bower-install plugin seems popular but I can't find much documentation for it.
You should try to use grunt-bower along with grunt-bower-install. You can configure bower to install copy files to specific folders. It will look like this:
bower: {
dev: {
dest: 'lib/',
js_dest: 'lib/js',
css_dest: 'lib/styles'
}
}
Then if you run the task:
grunt bower
You will have something like this in your lib folder:
/js
/package1
package1_file1.js
package1_file2.js
/package2
package2.js
/styles
/package1
package1.css
/package2
package2.css
