[Grunt][grunt] HTML Builder - Appends scripts and styles, Removes debug parts, append html partials, Template options
## Getting Started
Install this grunt plugin next to your project's gruntfile with: `npm install grunt-html-build --save-dev`
Then add this line to your project's `Gruntfile.js` :
```javascript
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-html-build');
```
Then specify your config: ([more informations][doc-options])
```javascript
grunt.initConfig({
fixturesPath: "fixtures",
htmlbuild: {
dist: {
src: 'index.html',
dest: 'samples/',
options: {
beautify: true,
prefix: '//some-cdn',
relative: true,
basePath: false,
scripts: {
bundle: [
'<%= fixturesPath %>/scripts/*.js',
'!**/main.js',
],
main: '<%= fixturesPath %>/scripts/main.js'
},
styles: {
bundle: [
'<%= fixturesPath %>/css/libs.css',
'<%= fixturesPath %>/css/dev.css'
],
test: '<%= fixturesPath %>/css/inline.css'
},
sections: {
views: '<%= fixturesPath %>/views/**/*.html',
templates: '<%= fixturesPath %>/templates/**/*.html',
layout: {
header: '<%= fixturesPath %>/layout/header.html',
footer: '<%= fixturesPath %>/layout/footer.html'
}
},
data: {
// Data to pass to templates
version: "0.1.0",
title: "test",
},
}
}
}
});
```
Using the configuration above, consider the following example html to see it in action:
```html
grunt-html-build - Test Page
```
After running the grunt task it will be stored on the samples folder as
```html
grunt-html-build - Test Page...
...
...
...
```
There 5 types of processors:
* [script][doc-scripts-styles]
* append script reference from configuration to dest file.
* [style][doc-scripts-styles]
* append style reference from configuration to dest file.
* [section][doc-sections]
* append partials from configuration to dest file.
* [process][doc-process]
* process grunt template on the block.
* [remove][doc-remove]
* it will erase the whole block.
