minify and combine CSS cssmin: { compress: { options: {
banner: '<%= banner %>' }, files: { 'project.min.css': ['1.css','2.css', '...'] } } } grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-cssmin'); grunt.registerTask('default', ['jshint','uglify', 'cssmin']); 50
optimize Images imagemin: { dist: { options: { optimizationLevel: 3
}, files: { // 'destination': 'source' 'dist/img.png': 'src/img.png', 'dist/img.jpg': 'src/img.jpg' } } } grunt.registerTask('default', ['imagemin']); 51
but it’s more than just optimizations 52
render markdown to HTML markdown: { all: { files: ['readme.markdown','version-history.markdown'],
template: 'web/template.html', dest: 'web', options: { gfm: true, codeLines: { before: '<span>', after: '</span>' } } } } 53
remove debug code removelogging: { dist: { src: 'js/jquery.tabs.min.js', dest:
'js/jquery.tabs.min.js' } } 54
compile Sass/Compass // setup Compass/Sass to load from existing config.rb
compass: { dist: { options: { config: 'config.rb' } } } 55
