I have a working yeoman project. I am using grunt-usemin.
To include javascripts, I do this in index.html
:
<!-- build:js scripts/includes.js -->
<script src="/bower_components/jquery/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="/bower_components/underscore/underscore-min.js"></script>
<script src="/bower_components/angular/angular.js"></script>
<script src="/bower_components/angular-route/angular-route.min.js"></script>
<script src="/bower_components/angular-resource/angular-resource.min.js"></script>
<script src="/bower_components/angular-sanitize/angular-sanitize.min.js"></script>
<script src="/bower_components/angular-ui-date/src/date.js"></script>
<script src="/bower_components/angulartics/src/angulartics.js"></script>
<script src="/bower_components/angulartics/src/angulartics-ga.js"></script>
<script src="/bower_components/jquery-ui/ui/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<script src="/assets/vendor/bootstrap.2.3.1.min.js"></script>
... a few more libs like that
<script src="/scripts/config.processed.js"></script>
<script src="/scripts/app.js"></script>
<script src="/scripts/controllers/first_controller.js"></script>
<script src="/scripts/controllers/second_controller.js"></script>
<script src="/scripts/controllers/third_controller.js"></script>
<script src="/scripts/controllers/fourth_controller.js"></script>
<script src="/scripts/controllers/fith_controller.js"></script>
<script src="/scripts/controllers/sixth_controller.js"></script>
<script src="/scripts/controllers/seventh_controller.js"></script>
... 20 more like that
<script src="/scripts/directives/first_directive.js"></script>
<script src="/scripts/directives/second_directive.js"></script>
<script src="/scripts/directives/third_directive.js"></script>
... 10 more like that
<script src="/scripts/services/first_service.js"></script>
<script src="/scripts/services/second_service.js"></script>
...
<script src="/scripts/filters/first_filter.js"></script>
<script src="/scripts/filters/second_filter.js"></script>
...
<!-- endbuild -->
This is verbose. I would like to be able to do something like this:
In index.html
:
<!-- build:js scripts/includes.js -->
<!-- library includes as before -->
<script src="/bower_components/jquery/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="/bower_components/underscore/underscore-min.js"></script>
...
<!-- Replace application includes with this: -->
<script src="<% '/scripts/**/*.js' %>"></script>
<!-- endbuild -->
I used grunt-include-source
Install it:
In Gruntfile:
Load it before initConfig:
Configure includeSource itself in initConfig:
Add this task where you want (here, I add it to the build task):
Add it to the watch task:
Change useminPrepare (if you use yeoman)
I've used to subtasks: dist and server to generate the index.html in different directories.
Edit: How to include your javascripts in index.html:
If you want to include everything scripts, do this:
