Replace text patterns with applause.
From NPM:
npm install grunt-replace --save-devAssuming installation via NPM, you can use grunt-replace in your gruntfile like this:
module.exports = function (grunt) {
grunt.initConfig({
replace: {
dist: {
options: {
patterns: [
{
match: 'foo',
replacement: 'bar'
}
]
},
files: [
{
expand: true, flatten: true, src: ['src/index.html'], dest: 'build/'
}
]
}
}
});
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-replace');
grunt.registerTask('default', ['replace']);
};Supports all the applause options in addition to the ones below.
Type: Boolean

-
__SOURCE_FILE__:Replace match with the source file.
-
__SOURCE_PATH__:Replace match with the path of source file.
-
__SOURCE_FILENAME__:Replace match with the filename of source file.
-

-
__TARGET_PATH__:Replace match with the path of target file.
-
