grunt-uniqueify

Rename files using a content hash then replace references to that file in source code.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.4

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-uniqueify --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-uniqueify');

The "uniqueify" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named uniqueify to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  uniqueify: {
    options: {
      // Task-specific options go here.
    },
    your_target: {
      // Target-specific file lists and/or options go here.
    },
  },
});

Options

Type: Array Default value: null

    },
  },
});
