Grunt task manager including jit-grunt

et-grunt is a task manager which makes your life easier. It also loads tasks when you really need them.

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-clean');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-connect');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-copy');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-concat');
...

grunt.registerTask('manage:js', [
	'clean:js',
	'concat:js',
]);

grunt.registerTask('manage:assets', [
	'concat:assets',
	'copy:assets',
]);

grunt.registerTask('serve:dev', [
	'clean',
	'manage:js',
	'connect'
]);

require('et-grunt')(grunt, {
	manage: {
		js: [
			'clean:js',
			'concat:js'
		],
		assets: [
			'concat:assets',
			'copy:assets'
		]
	},
	serve: {
		dev: [
			'clean',
			'manage:js',
			'connect'
		]
	}
});

npm install et-grunt --save-dev

require('et-grunt')(grunt, tasksAsObject);

// optional
var jitMappings = {
	yourStaticJitMappings
};

require('et-grunt')(grunt, {
	// task
	manage: {
		// default task, means just 'manage'
		default: [
			'manage:sass',
			'manage:js',
			'manage:app',
		],
		// sub task -> 'manage:js'
		js: [
			'concat:js',
			'concat:vendor',
			'clean:bower'
		],
	},
	minify: {
		js: [
			'manage:js',
			'uglify:js'
		]
	}
}, jitMappings);

Now available in your shell:

grunt manage
grunt manage:js
grunt minify:js

The very first object value should have the value default

default: ['taskName']

In every object you can write default as key and et-grunt knows automatically that the following array should be called as default. Example:

taskName: {
	default: ['concat']
}

Available as:

grunt taskName

If you want to have subtasks like manage:js then you have to nest an object into the other object. Example:

taskName: {
	subtask: ['concat:js']
}

Available as:

grunt taskName:subtask

Note: How jit-grunt works can you read here

The argument after the tasks are reserved for jit static mappings.

var jitMappings = {
	// all settings
};

require('et-grunt')(grunt, tasksAsObject, jitMappings);

require('et-grunt')(grunt, tasksAsObject)(options);

Example pluginsRoot:

require('jit-grunt')(grunt, tasksAsObject)({
  	pluginsRoot: 'other/dir'
});

Default
