Usage Examples

Default Options

In this example, the default options are used to do something with whatever. So it just output file with HTML-tags within. Tags corresponds to file extension: .js => <script> and .css => <link>. So, src/first.js will be <script src="src/first.js"></script>

grunt.initConfig({
  files_list: {
    options: {},
    files: {
      'dest/filelist.html': ['src/first.js', 'src/second.js'],
    },
  },
})

Custom Options

In this example, custom options are used prefix and suffix the filepath. So, src/first.js will be <script src="/js/src/first.js?version=0.1"></script>

grunt.initConfig({
  files_list: {
    options: {
      pathPrefix: "/js/",
      pathSuffix: "?verion=0.1"
    },
    files: {
      'dest/filelist.html': ['src/first.js', 'src/second.js'],
    },
  },
})
