Where did the grunt min task go?

问题

I watched many tutorials on grunt where some min task was used. I couldn't find any plugins referring to similar task. I would guess that devs have updated it and renamed to uglify am i right? And another issue i had was the installation of grunt. Can it still be installed globally, or should i install grunt-cli globally and grunt locally in order to use it for my local projects??

This:

sudo npm install -g grunt

doesn't work for me, only:

sudo npm install -g grunt-cli

npm install grunt --save-dev

Is the first method deprecated?

Edit:

Here is the video i'm refering to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3Sqljpr-Vc

回答1:

There are many different min libraries including these by the core grunt team:

• grunt-contrib-cssmin (grunt-contrib-mincss is the older version)
• grunt-contrib-htmlmin
• grunt-contrib-imagemin
• grunt-contrib-uglify <== for js minification

It is likely the one you are referring to is the uglify plugin, but hard to tell without knowing which tutorial you were watching.

As to installing, the second form is correct for grunt 4.x as described in the documentation

I saw the same tutorial and I couldn't found min task too. 'min' seems using uglify internally so you can use uglify directly.

decalre task in gruntfile.js

uglify: {
  dist: {
    src: foo.js,
    dest: foo.min.js
  }
}

load plugin

 grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-uglify');

and run

$ grunt uglify
