grunt-este-watchby Daniel SteigerwaldRun predefined tasks whenever watched file changes.
This task will emit a watch event when watched files are modified. This is useful if you would like a simple notification when files are edited or if you're using this task in tandem with another task. Here is a simple example using the watch event: grunt.
json file, which is then parsed to a JavaScript object. Grunt has a simple template engine to output the values of properties in the configuration object. Here we tell the concat task to concatenate all files that exist within src/ and end in .
Grunt is a generic task-runner for Node. js projects with a huge library of plugins (grunt-contrib-*). By automating tasks, you can streamline processes for your project (and reduce human error on your team).
It looks like this was implemented in version 0.4.0. You can see the issue here which explains that by simply watching the Gruntfile (even without any tasks) the entire contents of the Grunt setup will be reloaded:
watch: {
grunt: { files: ['grunt.js'] }
}
