SailsJS v0.10.0-rc7 / grunt loading js assets in correct order

Question

I am trying to learn SailsJS, however am experiencing some difficulties with lack of documentation on a newer version of Sails.

Ok, so Linker has been removed... And my gruntfile.js is different to that in sailscasts.

I am running sails v0.10.0-rc7which is different to the documentation on the website which is for v0.9.0.

How do I modify my gruntfile to load jquery before bootstrap? Even better, is it possible to dump grunt and run gulp instead?

Thanks in advance.

/**

 * It's purpose is to load the Grunt tasks in your project's `tasks`

 * For more information on how this works, check out the `README.md`

Found the solution - couldn't find any documentation for this though...

need to edit tasks/pipeline.js

// Client-side javascript files to inject in order
// (uses Grunt-style wildcard/glob/splat expressions)
var jsFilesToInject = [

  // Dependencies like sails.io.js, jQuery, or Angular
  // are brought in here
  'js/dependencies/jquery.js',
  'js/dependencies/bootstrap.js',
  'js/dependencies/angular.js',
  'js/dependencies/**/*.js',


  // All of the rest of your client-side js files
  // will be injected here in no particular order.
  'js/**/*.js'
];
