Grunt is now used by Rogo to do certain tasks quickly, such as minimifying Javascript and CSS.

How to install

1. Install npm

2. Install the Grunt cli using: 

   npm install -g grunt-cli

   
   

3. From the Rogo root directory install the npm packages for Rogo: 

   npm install

   
   

How to use

If you run the following command from the root Rogo directory: 

grunt

Grunt will run all it's default tasks which at the current time include:

• Minifying all the CSS files from css/source and placing them in the css directory
• Lint checking all the source JavaScript files in the admin directory (i.e. in  */js/source)
• Minify all the source JavaScript files in the admin directory and place them as .min.js files inside the appropriate js folder.

It is also possible to run a subset of the Grunt tasks by specifying a task explicitly, for example: 

grunt css

will only minify all the CSS.

To find out which tasks are available examin the Gruntfile.js and look for grunt.registerTask() calls
