grunt-md5

Grunt plugin for generating MD5 filenames.

Getting Started

Install this grunt plugin next to your project's grunt.js gruntfile with: npm install grunt-md5

Then add this line to your project's grunt.js gruntfile:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-md5');

Then specify what files you want to generate an md5 filename in your config:

grunt.initConfig({
  md5: {
    compile: {
      files: {
        'dest/folder/': 'src/file'
      },
      options: {
        encoding: null,
        keepBasename: true,
        keepExtension: true,
        afterEach: function (fileChange, options) {
          // Called once for each file processed by the md5 task.

          // fileChange is in following format:
          //
          // {
          //   newPath: '...',
          //   oldPath: '...',
          //   content: '...'
          // }
          //
          // Where newPath is the path with MD5, oldPath is the original path,
          // and content is the file content.

          // options is the options object of the task
          // In this case:
          // {encoding: null, keepBasename: true, keepExtension: true, afterEach: function () {...} after: function () {...}}

          // The context (value of "this") is set to the context of the task
          // this.nameArgs -> "md5:compile"
          // See more information at http://gruntjs.com/api/inside-tasks

        },
        after: function (fileChanges, options) {
          // Called after all of the files are processed by the md5 task.

          // fileChanges is an array, holding the same values are the afterEach callback.
          // [{newPath: '...', oldPath: '...', content: '...'}, ...]

          // options is the options object of the task
          // In this case:
          // {encoding: null, keepBasename: true, keepExtension: true, afterEach: function () {...} after: function () {...}}

          // The context (value of "this") is set to the context of the task
          // this.nameArgs -> "md5:compile"
          // See more information at http://gruntjs.com/api/inside-tasks
        }
      }
    }
  }
});
