I would really love to be able to have a development grunt file and using the same file an production version of the script.
I have tried the suggestion on SO but my script will just fail when trying to call a dev/prod argument. I believe that the answer is for an older version of grunt, or maybe the plugins I am using.
module.exports = function (grunt) {
// load all grunt tasks
require('matchdep').filterDev('grunt-*').forEach(grunt.loadNpmTasks);
grunt.initConfig({
pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),
compass: {
dev: {
options: {
config: 'config.rb',
force: true,
livereload: true
}
}
},
uglify: {
build: {
src: ['docroot/js/*.js', 'docroot/components/**/*.js'],
dest: 'docroot/dis/main.min.js'
}
},
watch: {
options: {
dateFormat: function(time) {
grunt.log.writeln('The watch finished in ' + time + 'ms at' + (new Date()).toString());
grunt.log.writeln('Waiting for more changes...');
},
livereload: true
},
sass: {
files: ['docroot/sass/*.scss'],
tasks: ['compass:dev']
},
/* watch and see if our javascript files change, or new packages are installed */
js: {
files: '<%= uglify.build.src %>',
tasks: ['uglify']
},
/* watch our files for change, reload */
livereload: {
files: ['*.html', 'docroot/css/*.css', 'docroot/img/*', 'docroot/js/{main.min.js, plugins.min.js}'],
options: {
livereload: true
}
}
}
});
grunt.registerTask('default', 'watch');
};
Really, so long as I can get two version running by calling them with, for example:
grunt //local
grunt prod //live
then I can play around with the scripts and what to load.

Tasks are grunt's bread and butter. The stuff you do most often, like jshint or nodeunit . Every time Grunt is run, you specify one or more tasks to run, which tells Grunt what you'd like it to do. If you don't specify a task, but a task named "default" has been defined, that task will run (unsurprisingly) by default.
grunt. util. _ is deprecated and we highly encourage you to npm install lodash and var _ = require('lodash') to use lodash .
So task runners like Grunt and Gulp still have their place and we still use both here at Delicious Brains as build tools for different products we develop.
Grunt is a JavaScript task runner, a tool used to automatically perform frequent tasks such as minification, compilation, unit testing, and linting. It uses a command-line interface to run custom tasks defined in a file (known as a Gruntfile). Grunt was created by Ben Alman and is written in Node.
You can also just register a task that calls an array of tasks
grunt.registerTask('prod', ['tasks1','task2']);
before your default task, that would be
$ grunt prod
