First time using this task and what I'm trying to achieve is the following:
copy all directories/files from src/js/bower_components/*
to build/assets/js/vendor/
I've tried using cwd
property but it doesn't work at all when I use it.. I've set it to: src/js/bower_components/
From src
.
├── Gruntfile
└── src
└── js
└── bower_components
└── jquery
I currently get:
.
├── Gruntfile
└── build
└── assets
└── js
└── vendor
src
└── js
└── bower_components
└── jquery
What I'd like
.
├── Gruntfile
└── build
└── assets
└── js
└── vendor
└──jquery
Here's my current grunt task
copy: {
main: {
src: 'src/js/bower_components/*',
dest: 'build/assets/js/vendor/',
expand: true,
}
},
Thanks for any help
I've set up an example project with tree like this:
.
├── Gruntfile.js
├── package.json
└── src
└── js
└── foo.js
Using the below Gruntfile:
module.exports = function(grunt) {
require('matchdep').filterDev('grunt-*').forEach(grunt.loadNpmTasks);
grunt.initConfig({
copy : {
foo : {
files : [
{
expand : true,
dest : 'dist',
cwd : 'src',
src : [
'**/*.js'
]
}
]
}
}
});
grunt.registerTask('build', function(target) {
grunt.task.run('copy');
});
};
This gave me this structure:
.
├── Gruntfile.js
├── dist
│ └── js
│ └── foo.js
├── package.json
└── src
└── js
└── foo.js
When I had changed cwd
so that the Gruntfile read:
module.exports = function(grunt) {
require('matchdep').filterDev('grunt-*').forEach(grunt.loadNpmTasks);
grunt.initConfig({
copy : {
foo : {
files : [
{
expand : true,
dest : 'dist',
cwd : 'src/js',
src : [
'**/*.js'
]
}
]
}
}
});
grunt.registerTask('build', function(target) {
grunt.task.run('copy');
});
};
I got this dir structure:
.
├── Gruntfile.js
├── dist
│ └── foo.js
├── package.json
└── src
└── js
└── foo.js
So it seems like cwd
does what you need. Maybe you left src
at src/js/bower_components/*
when setting cwd
to src/js/bower_components
? In that case, src
should read something like **/*.js
, but depending on what you really need.
