grunt-svninfo

A Grunt.js plugin that provides easy access to Subversion working copy metadata (svn info).

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.0

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-svninfo --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-svninfo');

That's about it, no configuration necessary.

The "svninfo" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named svninfo to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig(). Executing the task svninfo would run svn info in the command line and would make the retrieved data available via grunt.config (e.g. <%= svninfo.rev %>) in your build. The resulting svninfo object has the following structure:

{
  "rev": "321",
  "url": "https://yourproject.unfuddle.com/svn/repo/trunk",
  "last": {
 	  "rev": "321",
 	  "author": "me",
 	  "date": "2013-02-10 12:35:30 +0200"
  },
  "repository": {
 	  "root": "https://yourproject.unfuddle.com/svn/repo",
 	  "id": "f5d41312-1fa6-4ca6-a93e-e27d7e98fc43"
  }
}

Options

cwd

Type: String

Allows to specify a cwd (current working directory) path for the SVN repository of which to retrieve the information. The default directory is the where you run grunt from ('.').

Example:

svninfo: {
  options: {
    cwd: './myproject/ishere'
  },
  ...
}

Contributing

In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint and test your code using Grunt.
