# grunt-open

Open urls and files from a grunt task

## Installation

Install alongside your Gruntfile

```bash
$ npm install --save grunt-open
```

## Usage

This is immediately useful as part of your task chain between `server` and `watch`

```js
grunt.registerTask('default', ['server', 'open', 'watch']);
```

You can specify different configurations so that you can set up task chains like

```js
grunt.registerTask('dev', ['server', 'open:dev', 'watch']);
grunt.registerTask('build', ['build', 'server', 'open:build', 'watch:build');
```

## Getting Started
Install this grunt plugin next to your project's [Gruntfile][getting_started] with: `npm install grunt-open`

## Configuration

This is a very simple task and takes two configuration parameter, `path` (required) and `app` (optionnal). If app is unused, default application will launch. 

```js
grunt.initConfig({
  open : {
    dev : {
      path: 'http://127.0.0.1:8888/src',
      app: 'Google Chrome'
    },
    google : {
      path : 'http://google.com/',
      app: 'Firefox'
    },
    file : {
      path : '/etc/hosts'
    }
  }
})

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-open');

```
