grunt-hustler

library4.0.6jsnpmunverified

A collection of Grunt tasks including cache busting, file hashing, HTML minification, RequireJS main file generation, AngularJS template cache creation, and Lo-Dash template compilation. Version 4.0.6 is the latest stable release. The package provides specialized task wrappers for asset pipeline workflows in legacy Grunt-based projects. Key differentiators from other Grunt task collections: includes 'bust' for cache busting with file reference replacement, 'ngTemplateCache' for AngularJS templates, and 'shimmer' for RequireJS integration. Requires Node >= 0.8.1.

Code

Verified usage

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

grunt-hustler

✓ grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-hustler');

✗ require('grunt-hustler');

Must be called in Gruntfile to register tasks. Not a direct module import.

bust

✓ _grunt.config('bust', { ... })

✗ grunt.config('bust', ...) // if using grunt inside initConfig

Task configuration is set via grunt.config() within Gruntfile. The underscore is not required; it can be grunt.config directly.

hash

✓ _grunt.config('hash', { ... })

minifyHtml

✓ _grunt.config('minifyHtml', { ... })

Note the camelCase spelling; 'minifyHtml' not 'minifyhtml' or 'minifyHTML'.

ngTemplateCache

✓ _grunt.config('ngTemplateCache', { ... })

✗ _grunt.config('ngtemplatecache', ...) // incorrect casing

Task name is case-sensitive as 'ngTemplateCache'.

Gruntfile configuration demonstrating all four tasks: bust, hash, minifyHtml, and ngTemplateCache.

// Gruntfile.js module.exports = function(grunt) { grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-hustler'); grunt.initConfig({ bust: { images: { files: [{ cwd: './temp/', src: ['images/**/*.png'], dest: './temp/', replaceIn: { files: ['./temp/styles/styles.css'] } }] } }, hash: { scripts: { files: [{ cwd: './temp/', src: ['scripts/scripts.min.js'], dest: './temp/scripts/' }] } }, minifyHtml: { views: { files: [{ src: 'index.html', dest: './dist/' }] } }, ngTemplateCache: { views: { options: { trim: './temp' }, files: [{ './dist/views.js': './views/**/*.html' }] } } }); // Default task can run one or more tasks grunt.registerTask('default', ['bust', 'hash', 'minifyHtml', 'ngTemplateCache']); };

Debug

Known issues

deprecatedPackage is no longer actively maintained. Last release 4.0.6 from 2015. May have unpatched vulnerabilities.

fix

Consider migrating to modern build tools like Webpack, Vite, or Gulp.

affects: >=4.0.0

gotchaNode.js version requirement: '>= 0.8.1'. Will not work on modern Node.js versions without compatibility issues.

fix

Use an older Node.js version or find alternative packages.

affects: >=4.0.0

gotchaTask names are case-sensitive. 'minifyHtml' not 'minifyhtml'; 'ngTemplateCache' not 'ngtemplatecache'.

fix

Ensure exact casing in grunt.config() calls.

affects: >=4.0.0

gotcha'bust' task replaces file references; unintended replacements may occur if replaceIn files contain similar strings.

fix

Review replaceIn file contents and test before deployment.

affects: >=4.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-hustler') fails: "Warning: Task "bust" not found."

grunt-hustler requires grunt peer dependency; if grunt is not installed or version mismatch, tasks don't register.

fix

Ensure grunt is installed (npm install grunt --save-dev) and versions are compatible.

Fatal error: Unable to find local grunt.

grunt CLI not installed or not in node_modules.

fix

npm install grunt --save-dev
