grunt-node-optimize
===================

[![npm Version](https://badge.fury.io/js/grunt-node-optimize.png)](https://npmjs.org/package/grunt-node-optimize)

We all need a tool to optimize a node.js project and create a single `js` file from it, 
Taking care of `require`s and leaving out `node_modules`.

Well I needed one too, and there wasn't one, so I build it!

## Getting Started
This plugin requires Grunt `~0.4.0`

If you haven't used [Grunt](http://gruntjs.com/) before, be sure to check out the [Getting Started](http://gruntjs.com/getting-started) guide, as it explains how to create a [Gruntfile](http://gruntjs.com/sample-gruntfile) as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

```shell
npm install grunt-node-optimize --save-dev
```

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

```js
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-node-optimize');
```

## Options

See [https://github.com/danielgindi/node-optimize](https://github.com/danielgindi/node-optimize).

## Usage Examples

```js
grunt.initConfig({
	node_optimize: {
		dist: {
			options: {
				ignore: [
					'config/db.js',
					'private/some-other-file.js',
				]
			},
			files: {
				'dist/main.optimized.js': 'main.js'
			}
		}
	}
});
```
