grunt-component-build

library0.5.3jsnpmunverified

A Grunt plugin to build and watch component(1) packages. It wraps the component build.js library (builder2.js) to compile component projects within a Grunt workflow. Latest version is 0.5.3, supporting component 1.0.0+ and builder2.js plugins (e.g., CoffeeScript, Jade). It provides task configuration for development, standalone builds, CSS prefixing, and asset copying. The plugin is in maintenance mode; the component ecosystem has largely shifted to modern build tools.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

componentbuild

✓ grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-component-build');

✗ const componentBuild = require('grunt-component-build');

Plugin is loaded as a Grunt task, not imported directly in code.

default import

✓ npm install grunt-component-build --save-dev

✗ npm install --save grunt-component-build

Should be saved as devDependency since it's a build tool.

task registration

✓ grunt.initConfig({ componentbuild: { ... } });

✗ grunt.config.set('componentBuild', { ... });

Task name is all lowercase 'componentbuild' in configuration.

Shows how to install, load the plugin, and configure a basic build task.

// Install: npm install grunt-component-build --save-dev // Gruntfile.js module.exports = function(grunt) { grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-component-build'); grunt.initConfig({ componentbuild: { options: { name: 'myapp', development: true }, src: 'src/components', dest: 'public/build' } }); grunt.registerTask('default', ['componentbuild']); };
