usemin and rewriting urls of images in vendor CSS files using Grunt

Question

grunt-usemin helps me to transform

<link href="/dependencies/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<link href="/dependencies/nanoscroller/bin/css/nanoscroller.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<link href="/dependencies/dropzone/downloads/css/dropzone.css" rel="stylesheet" />

to a perfectly combined and minified js:

<link href="scripts/8e1991c7.libraries.js" rel="stylesheet" />

After concat, cssmin and uglify I have a almost perfect folder structure except for images and their locations.

Here is my problem:

All these vendor's css files are including image locations. The bad thing is that all of them are sharing different kind of locations. Some of them are using images inside css folder whereas others are using inside img folder.

How can I configure grunt usemin to rewrite all images urls?

Answer 1

1) Rev images. Add paths of images into rev task.

rev: {
    dist: {
        files: {
            src: [
                '<%= yeoman.dist %>/static/scripts/{,*/}*.js',
                '<%= yeoman.dist %>/static/styles/{,*/}*.css',
                '<%= yeoman.dist %>/static/images/{,*/}*.{png,jpg,jpeg,gif,webp,svg}',
            ]
        }
    }
}

2) Add paths of file which are including image locations into usemin task.

usemin: {
    html: ['<%= yeoman.dist %>/{,*/}*.html'],
    css: ['<%= yeoman.dist %>/static/styles/{,*/}*.css'],
    options: {
        assetsDirs: ['<%= yeoman.dist %>','<%= yeoman.dist%>/static/images'],
    }
}

3) Run grunt.
