grunt-node-webkit-builder

NPM

Let's you build your node-webkit apps for osx, win, and linux with grunt. It will download the prebuilt binaries for a specify version, unpacks it, creates a release folder, create the app.nw file for a specified directory and copys the app.nw file where it belongs.

Issues with the output should be reported on the node-webkit-builder issue tracker.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.1

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-node-webkit-builder --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-node-webkit-builder');

The "nodewebkit" task

Options

Exactly the same as https://github.com/mllrsohn/node-webkit-builder. You have the advantage to configure the files via grunt.

Usage Examples

grunt.initConfig({
  nodewebkit: {
    options: {
        platforms: ['win','osx'],
        buildDir: './webkitbuilds', // Where the build version of my node-webkit app is saved
    },
    src: ['./example/public/**/*'] // Your node-webkit app
  },
})
