grunt让Nodejs规范起来
从零开始nodejs系列文章,将介绍如何利Javascript做为服务端脚本,通过Nodejs框架web开发。Nodejs框架是基于V8的引擎,是目前速度最快的Javascript引擎。chrome浏览器就基于V8,同时打开20-30个网页都很流畅。Nodejs标准的web开发框架Express,可以帮助我们迅速建立web站点,比起PHP的开发效率更高,而且学习曲线更低。非常适合小型网站,个性化网站,我们自己的Geek网站!!

前言
一个应用开发到一定阶段,普遍会遇到一个问题。当功能越来越多,代码量越来越大,bug修复越来越频繁,开发人员一波一波的交替,…..应该用会向着越来越不可控发展。我们不能再准确估计新功能的开发时间,也不知道一个bug修复后是否会引发另一个bug出现。所有的程序开发,都会面临着这样的问题。
C/C++程序通过makefile管理编译测试打包的过程,Java程序通过Maven,Ant实现项目构建管理功能,Python有pip,Ruby有gem。在Nodejs的领域,我们同样需要一个项目构建工具,这就是Grunt。Grunt可以执行像压缩, 编译, 单元测试, 代码检查以及打包发布的任务。
目录
- Grunt介绍
- Grunt安装
- Grunt使用
- Grunt常用插件:
1).grunt-contrib-uglify:压缩js代码
2).grunt-contrib-concat:合并js文件
3).grunt-contrib-qunit:单元测试
4).grunt-contrib-jshint:js代码检查
5).grunt-contrib-watch:文件监控
1. Grunt介绍
Grunt是一个自动化的项目构建工具. 如果你需要重复的执行像压缩, 编译, 单元测试, 代码检查以及打包发布的任务. 那么你可以使用Grunt来处理这些任务, 你所需要做的只是配置好Grunt, 这样能很大程度的简化你的工作.
如果在团队中使用Grunt, 你只需要与其他人员约定好使用Grunt应该规避的问题, 就能够很方便的自动化的处理大部分的常见工作任务, 你所付出的努力几乎为0.
2. Grunt安装
Grunt和Grunt插件都是通过npm, Node.js包管理器安装和管理的.
我的系统环境
- win7 64bit
- Nodejs:v0.10.5
- Npm:1.2.19
~ D:\workspace\javascript>node -v
v0.10.5
~ D:\workspace\javascript>npm -v
1.2.19
在系统中,我们已经安装好了Nodejs和npm。win7安装nodejs请参考文章:Nodejs开发框架Express3.0开发手记–从零开始
安装grunt-cli
grunt-cli并不grunt,grunt-cli的作用是管理本地各版本的grunt,让命令行可以直接执行grunt命令。
下面全局安装grunt-cli(-g)
~ D:\workspace\javascript>npm install -g grunt-cli
D:\toolkit\nodejs\grunt -> D:\toolkit\nodejs\node_modules\grunt-cli\bin\grunt
grunt-cli@0.1.9 D:\toolkit\nodejs\node_modules\grunt-cli
├── resolve@0.3.1
├── nopt@1.0.10 (abbrev@1.0.4)
└── findup-sync@0.1.2 (lodash@1.0.1, glob@3.1.21)
我们看到grunt-cli似乎做了一个软件链接,把grunt脚本复制到nodejs安装根目录里。
接下来全局安装grunt
~ D:\workspace\javascript>npm install -g grunt
~ D:\workspace\javascript>grunt
grunt-cli: The grunt command line interface. (v0.1.9)
Fatal error: Unable to find local grunt.
If you‘re seeing this message, either a Gruntfile wasn‘t found or grunt
hasn‘t been installed locally to your project. For more information about
installing and configuring grunt, please see the Getting Started guide:
http://gruntjs.com/getting-started
执行grunt命令,我们发现系统报错了,提示不能加载本地库。因为,grunt命令执行,是需要当前目录中包括package.json和Gruntfile.js两个文件。
package.json,是npm项目配置文件
Gruntfile.js,是专门用来配置grunt的配置文件
接下来,我们创建一个express3的项目。
~ D:\workspace\javascript>express -e nodejs-grunt
~ D:\workspace\javascript>cd nodejs-grunt && npm install
~ D:\workspace\javascript\nodejs-grunt>npm install grunt --save-dev
安装-save-dev,就可以,直接把grunt作为devDependencies写入的package.json中。
~ vi package.json
{
"name": "nodejs-grunt",
"version": "0.0.1",
"private": true,
"scripts": {
"start": "node app.js"
},
"dependencies": {
"express": "3.2.2",
"ejs": "*"
},
"devDependencies": {
"grunt": "~0.4.1",
}
}
然后,我们再执行grunt,系统提示缺少Gruntfile文件
~ D:\workspace\javascript\nodejs-grunt>grunt
A valid Gruntfile could not be found. Please see the getting started guide for
more information on how to configure grunt: http://gruntjs.com/getting-started
Fatal error: Unable to find Gruntfile.
创建Gruntfile文件
~ vi Gruntfile.js
module.exports = function(grunt) {
// Project configuration.
grunt.initConfig({
pkg: grunt.file.readJSON(‘package.json‘),
uglify: {
options: {
banner: ‘/*! <%= pkg.name %> <%= grunt.template.today("yyyy-mm-dd") %> */\n‘
},
build: {
src: ‘src/<%= pkg.name %>.js‘,
dest: ‘build/<%= pkg.name %>.min.js‘
}
}
});
// Load the plugin that provides the "uglify" task.
grunt.loadNpmTasks(‘grunt-contrib-uglify‘);
// Default task(s).
grunt.registerTask(‘default‘, [‘uglify‘]);
};
再次运行grunt,这时提示是grunt-contrib-uglify包找不到,是Gruntfile.js配置文件中的错误了。
~ D:\workspace\javascript\nodejs-grunt>grunt
>> Local Npm module "grunt-contrib-uglify" not found. Is it installed?
Warning: Task "uglify" not found. Use --force to continue.
我们编辑package.js, 在devDependencies中增加grunt-contrib-uglify的依赖库
~ vi package.js
{
"name": "application-name",
"version": "0.0.1",
"private": true,
"scripts": {
"start": "node app.js"
},
"dependencies": {
"express": "3.2.2",
"ejs": "*"
},
"devDependencies": {
"grunt": "~0.4.1"
"grunt-contrib-uglify": "~0.1.1"
}
}
~ D:\workspace\javascript\nodejs-grunt>npm install
我们创建两个目录src和build,和nodejs-grunt.js的文件
~ D:\workspace\javascript\nodejs-grunt>mkdir src
~ D:\workspace\javascript\nodejs-grunt>mkdir build
~ D:\workspace\javascript\nodejs-grunt>vi src/nodejs-grunt.js
var sayHello = function(name){
return "Hello " + name;
}
我们再执行grunt
~ D:\workspace\javascript\nodejs-grunt>grunt
Running "uglify:build" (uglify) task
File "build/nodejs-grunt.min.js" created.
Uncompressed size: 59 bytes.
Compressed size: 40 bytes gzipped (43 bytes minified).
Done, without errors.
grunt运行正常,并且执行了uglify:build的任务。打开build/nodejs-grunt.min.js文件
~ D:\workspace\javascript\nodejs-grunt>vi /build/nodejs-grunt.min.js
/*! nodejs-grunt 2013-08-17 */
var sayHello=function(l){return"Hello "+l};
我们可以看到一个新生成的压缩文件nodejs-grunt.min.js。
上面的例子,是一个js文件压缩的例子。
3. Grunt使用
我们可以通过help帮助,看一下grunt怎么用。
~ D:\workspace\javascript\nodejs-grunt>grunt --help
Grunt: The JavaScript Task Runner (v0.4.1)
Usage
grunt [options] [task [task ...]]
Options
--help, -h Display this help text.
--base Specify an alternate base path. By default, all file paths are
relative to the Gruntfile. (grunt.file.setBase) *
--no-color Disable colored output.
--gruntfile Specify an alternate Gruntfile. By default, grunt looks in the
current or parent directories for the nearest Gruntfile.js or
Gruntfile.coffee file.
--debug, -d Enable debugging mode for tasks that support it.
--stack Print a stack trace when exiting with a warning or fatal error.
--force, -f A way to force your way past warnings. Want a suggestion? Don‘t
use this option, fix your code.
--tasks Additional directory paths to scan for task and "extra" files.
(grunt.loadTasks) *
--npm Npm-installed grunt plugins to scan for task and "extra" files.
(grunt.loadNpmTasks) *
--no-write Disable writing files (dry run).
--verbose, -v Verbose mode. A lot more information output.
--version, -V Print the grunt version. Combine with --verbose for more info.
--completion Output shell auto-completion rules. See the grunt-cli
documentation for more information.
Options marked with * have methods exposed via the grunt API and should instead
be specified inside the Gruntfile wherever possible.
Available tasks
uglify Minify files with UglifyJS. *
default Alias for "uglify" task.
Tasks run in the order specified. Arguments may be passed to tasks that accept
them by using colons, like "lint:files". Tasks marked with * are "multi tasks"
and will iterate over all sub-targets if no argument is specified.
The list of available tasks may change based on tasks directories or grunt
plugins specified in the Gruntfile or via command-line options.
For more information, see http://gruntjs.com/
有两方面是我们需要注意的:
- Options: grunt支持的命令
- Available tasks: 当目录可执行的任务
4. Grunt常用插件
- grunt-contrib-uglify:压缩js代码
- grunt-contrib-concat:合并js文件
- grunt-contrib-qunit:单元测试
- grunt-contrib-jshint:js代码检查
- grunt-contrib-watch:监控文件修改并重新执行注册的任务
1).
grunt-contrib-uglify:是执行压缩JS代码的任务
具体操作请查看”2.Grunt安装”,
2). grunt-contrib-concat:是执行合并文件的任务。
插件安装及更新到配置
~ D:\workspace\javascript\nodejs-grunt>npm install grunt-contrib-concat --save-dev
修改Gruntfile.js文件
grunt.initConfig({
pkg: grunt.file.readJSON(‘package.json‘),
concat:{
options: {
//定义一个字符串插入没个文件之间用于连接输出
separator: ‘;‘
},
dist: {
src: [‘src/*.js‘],
dest: ‘build/<%= pkg.name %>.cat.js‘
}
},
});
grunt.loadNpmTasks(‘grunt-contrib-qunit‘);
grunt.registerTask(‘default‘, [‘uglify‘,‘concat‘]);
在src目录,新增加文件src/sayBye.js
~ vi src/sayBye.js
var sayBye = function(name){
return "Bye " + name;
}
执行concat任务
~ D:\workspace\javascript\nodejs-grunt>grunt concat
Running "concat:dist" (concat) task
File "build/nodejs-grunt.cat.js" created.
Done, without errors.
查看生成的文件build/nodejs-grunt.cat.js
~ vi build/nodejs-grunt.cat.js
var sayHello = function(name){
return "Hello " + name;
};var sayBye = function(name){
return "Bye " + name;
}
两个文件完全的合并。
3). grunt-contrib-qunit:是执行QUint单元测试的任务。
插件安装及更新到配置
~ D:\workspace\javascript\nodejs-grunt>npm install grunt-contrib-qunit --save-dev
修改Gruntfile.js文件
grunt.initConfig({
pkg: grunt.file.readJSON(‘package.json‘),
qunit: {
files: [‘test/*.html‘]
}
});
grunt.loadNpmTasks(‘grunt-contrib-qunit‘);
grunt.registerTask(‘default‘, [‘uglify‘,‘concat‘,‘qunit‘]);
创建一个test目录,并编写用于测试的qunit.html文件
~ mkdir test
~ vi test/qunit.html
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://github.com/jquery/qunit/raw/master/qunit/qunit.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://github.com/jquery/qunit/raw/master/qunit/qunit.js"></script>
<script>
test("hello", function() {
ok(true, "world");
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<h1 id="qunit-header">QUnit example</h1>
<h2 id="qunit-banner"></h2>
<h2 id="qunit-userAgent"></h2>
<ol id="qunit-tests"></ol>
</body>
</html>
执行qunit命令
~ D:\workspace\javascript\nodejs-grunt>grunt qunit
Running "qunit:files" (qunit) task
Testing test/qunit.html .OK
>> 1 assertions passed (67ms)
Done, without errors.
完成单元测试!!
4). grunt-contrib-jshint:是执行代码验证的任务
插件安装及更新到配置
~ D:\workspace\javascript\nodejs-grunt>npm install grunt-contrib-jshint --save-dev
修改Gruntfile.js文件
grunt.initConfig({
pkg: grunt.file.readJSON(‘package.json‘),
jshint: {
files: [‘gruntfile.js‘, ‘src/*.js‘, ‘build/*.js‘],
options: {
globals: {
exports: true
}
}
}
});
grunt.loadNpmTasks(‘grunt-contrib-jshint‘);
grunt.registerTask(‘default‘, [‘uglify‘,‘concat‘,‘qunit‘,‘jshint‘]);
执行jshint代码检查
~ D:\workspace\javascript\nodejs-grunt>grunt jshint
Running "jshint:files" (jshint) task
Linting src/nodejs-grunt.js ...ERROR
[L3:C2] W033: Missing semicolon.
}
Linting build/nodejs-grunt.cat.js ...ERROR
[L5:C2] W033: Missing semicolon.
}
Linting build/nodejs-grunt.min.js ...ERROR
[L2:C42] W033: Missing semicolon.
var sayHello=function(l){return"Hello "+l};
Warning: Task "jshint:files" failed. Use --force to continue.
Aborted due to warnings.
好多的错误啊,细看一下,都是”丢失分号”的错误。
~ vi src/sayBye.js
var sayBye = function(name){
return "Bye " + name;
};
增加最后一行的分号,解决上面的错误。
5).
grunt-contrib-watch,是监控指定文件被修改,重新启动已注册的任务
我感觉这个插入,就点类似于supervisor的功能。
插件安装及更新到配置
~ D:\workspace\javascript\nodejs-grunt>npm install grunt-contrib-watch --save-dev
修改Gruntfile.js文件
grunt.initConfig({
pkg: grunt.file.readJSON(‘package.json‘),
watch: {
files: [‘<%= jshint.files %>‘],
tasks: [‘jshint‘, ‘qunit‘]
}
});
grunt.loadNpmTasks(‘grunt-contrib-watch‘);
grunt.registerTask(‘default‘, [‘uglify‘,‘concat‘,‘qunit‘,‘jshint‘]);
执行watch任务
~ D:\workspace\javascript\nodejs-grunt>grunt watch
Running "watch" task
Waiting...OK
#手动修改src/sayBye.js文件,下面watch的任务被触发
>> File "src\sayBye.js" changed.
Running "jshint:files" (jshint) task
Linting src/sayBye.js ...ERROR
[L3:C2] W033: Missing semicolon.
}
Linting build/nodejs-grunt.cat.js ...ERROR
[L3:C3] W032: Unnecessary semicolon.
};;var sayBye = function(name){
Linting build/nodejs-grunt.min.js ...ERROR
[L2:C42] W033: Missing semicolon.
var sayHello=function(l){return"Hello "+l};
Warning: Task "jshint:files" failed. Use --force to continue.
Aborted due to warnings.
Completed in 0.770s at Sat Aug 17 2013 20:49:15 GMT+0800 (中国标准时间) - Waiting...
上面介绍的5个任务,可能是我们比较常用配置的任务,大家也可以按照需要指定自己的任务。
