You could use simple regex: var result = fileAsString.replace(/string to be replaced/g, ‘replacement’); So… var fs = require(‘fs’) fs.readFile(someFile, ‘utf8’, function (err,data) { if (err) { return console.log(err); } var result = data.replace(/string to be replaced/g, ‘replacement’); fs.writeFile(someFile, result, ‘utf8’, function (err) { if (err) return console.log(err); }); });
I used grunt-include-source Install it: npm install grunt-include-source –save-dev In Gruntfile: Load it before initConfig: module.exports = function (grunt) { … grunt.loadNpmTasks(‘grunt-include-source’); Configure includeSource itself in initConfig: grunt.initConfig({ …, includeSource: { options: { basePath: ‘app’, baseUrl: “https://stackoverflow.com/”, }, server: { files: { ‘.tmp/index.html’: ‘<%= yeoman.app %>/index.html’ } }, dist: { files: { ‘<%= yeoman.dist %>/index.html’: … Read more

In the currently-in-development version 0.4.0a, the grunt.file.expand method now supports exclusions, and does so in an arguably less complex way than the underlying minimatch matching library. This is possible because grunt.file.expand accepts multiple patterns (whereas minimatch only accepts one). From the grunt.file.expand documentation: This method accepts either comma separated wildcard patterns or an array of … Read more

Below are snippets from my Gruntfile.js. ENV setup: env : { options : { /* Shared Options Hash */ //globalOption : ‘foo’ }, dev: { NODE_ENV : ‘DEVELOPMENT’ }, prod … Read more
This could be a number of issues: essentially it’s a problem of routeProvider not finding a file and recursively loading the default. For me, it turned out that it wasn’t minification but concatenation of the js that caused the problems. angular.module(‘myApp’).config([‘$routeProvider’, function ($routeProvider) { $routeProvider .when(“https://stackoverflow.com/”, { templateUrl: ‘views/listing.html’, controller: ‘ListingCtrl’ }) .otherwise({ redirectTo: “https://stackoverflow.com/” … Read more
