grunt-css-flip

Grunt plugin for Twitter's css-flip

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.3.

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-css-flip --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-css-flip');

Alternatively, you could instead use load-grunt-tasks to load this and other Grunt tasks.

The "cssflip" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named cssflip to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  cssflip: {
    options: {
      // Task-specific options go here.
    },
    your_target: {
      // Target-specific file lists and/or options go here.
    }
  }
});

Options

All options are passed directly to css-flip's flip() function. None of the options are required.

options.compress

Type: Boolean Default value: false

Whether to slightly compress output. Some newlines and indentation are removed. Comments stay intact.

options.indent

Type: String Default value: ' ' (two spaces)

String value to use for 1 level of indentation in the output.

Usage Examples

Default Options

In this example, two CSS files are flipped using css-flip's default settings.

grunt.initConfig({
  cssflip: {
    options: {},
    files: {
      'flipped-one.css': 'original-one.css',
      'flipped-two.css': 'original-two.css'
    }
  }
});

Custom Options

In this example, the resulting flipped CSS files will also be slightly compressed using css-flip's compress option.

grunt.initConfig({
  cssflip: {
    options: {
      compress: true
    },
    files: {
      'flipped-one.min.css': 'original-one.css',
      'flipped-two.min.css': 'original-two.css'
    }
  }
});
