grunth-cli

Runs grunt with the --harmony_* flags

This package is deprecated. You shouldn't need it with newer Node.js versions.

Description

This package exposes the grunth shell command that works like grunt but fires it using the node --harmony_* flags. Thanks to that you can use ECMAScript 6 features that have experimental implementation in Node, like const/let block scoping, generators etc.

NOTE:

1. In most cases it might better to use Node.js 4 or newer with regular grunt-cli instead. However, if you need to use Node.js 0.12 or want to experiment even in newer Node, go ahead.
2. In Node.js 4 or newer this module uses grunt --harmony as the --harmony flag doesn't enable completely in-progress features as it was in V8 used in Node.js 0.12.

The module is a replacement for the grunt-cli package.

To install the module globally:

npm -g install grunth-cli

Note: current version requires Node >=0.12.0. If you need Node 0.10 support, use:

npm -g install grunth-cli@0.2.x

Once the module has been installed, in every project that uses Grunt you can replace grunt with grunth in your commands, like:

grunth sass

Note that, like before, apart from installing the grunth-cli global module, you need to install the grunt package locally in every project, like:

npm install grunt --save-dev

Installing grunth-cli locally

If you prefer the idiomatic Node.js method to get started with a project (npm install && npm test) then install grunth-cli locally with npm install grunth-cli --save-dev. Then add a script to your package.json to run the associated grunt command: "scripts": { "test": "grunth test" } . Now npm test will use the locally installed ./node_modules/.bin/grunth executable to run your Grunt commands.

To read more about npm scripts, please visit the npm docs: https://npmjs.org/doc/misc/npm-scripts.html.

Supported Node.js versions

This project supports Node.js 0.12 & newer.
