quick-grunt-config-coding-conventions

Module containing a generator for configurations for Grunt tasks for coding-conventions checks.

To use, list this package along with grunt-contrib-jshint and grunt-jscs in your package.json. Require the other packages from your Gruntfile.js normally (individually or via matchdep). Requiring this module returns a function with the following signature:

configurationHash = makeConfig(grunt, optionalArrayOfDirectoryNameStrings)

You can also get the .jscsrc and .jshintrc for your project by creating symbolic links in the root of your project to the copies of these files under node_modules/quick-grunt-config-coding-conventions/. (Obviously if you need customized versions of these files that differ from what this module provides, you should copy what you like and make an independent file in your project. If you edit these files via a symbolic link, your changes will be lost next time NPM updates the content of this package's directory.)

A Gruntfile.js that did nothing but install the configuration in this module could look like:

function configureGrunt(grunt) {
  require("matchdep").filterDev(["grunt-*", "!grunt-cli"]).forEach(grunt.loadNpmTasks);

  var configuration = {};
  _.merge(configuration, require("quick-grunt-config-coding-conventions")(grunt, ["build_components"]));

  grunt.initConfig(configuration);
}

module.exports = configureGrunt;

By default, the configurations created for the jshint and jscs tasks looks for '.js' in your projects root directory, and for all files matching `.js' in any directory under the directories 'app', 'lib', 'test', and 'spec'. You can include additional directory trees to scan for JavaScript files by including each tree's root directory name in the second optional array argument to the function returned from require.

Directories under any of the roots listed which match the patterns *node_modules* or *bower_components* are automatically excluded.

Contributions and suggestions are welcome, including a set of unit tests covering the existing behavior. Right now the "reference user" for this module is [https://github.com/ecdex/tsme.git(https://github.com/ecdex/tsme.git)]. Running 'grunt' in that repository after installing your modified version of this module should run clean, and should correctly find errors you introduce in JavaScript files in the 'app' and 'build_components' directories.

If you make/propose changes that are incompatible with the invokation in ecdex/tsme, please make a matching pull request against that repository.

If you want to introduce unit tests for this module, please introduce a set of development dependencies that are a subset of those in ecdex/tsme.

Wanted:

• a patch that would remove non-existent and empty directories from the generated configuration.
