grunt-codename

Utility to include a codename for your application based on version (up-to v10.X.X-X).

This works great alongside version bump utility: grunt-bumpx for keeping your version numbers and names up-to-date with each build.

Included codenames and patchNames created with the help of the excellent codenamegenerator.com website.

Getting started

This plugin requires Grunt ~1.0.1

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-codename --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-codename');

The project follows the SemVer guidelines for version numbers; specifically following: 1.2.3-1 being MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH-BUILD.

N.B. The supplied codenames and patchNames only include suport for single-digit numbers used for minor and patch of the version field (and major up to 10) - you must supply your own custom codenames and patchNames if you can't handle this restriction (but that's a lot of names)!

The "codename" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named codename to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
    codename: {
        options: {
            // Task-specific options go here.
        },
        src: [
            // Target-specific files go here.
        ]
	}
})

codename allows to set the codename and patchName based on the version number of the configuration files (package.json, manifest.json, etc.) in your project. Only JSON files are supported, and each file must have a version field compliant to SemVer guidelines; specifically following: 1.2.3-1 being MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH-BUILD.

Remember: The supplied codenames and patchNames only include suport for single-digit numbers used for minor and patch of the version field (and major up to 10) - you must supply your own custom codenames and patchNames if you can't handle this restriction (but that's a lot of names)!

Example JSON

codename is designed to update your package.json, manifest.json or any other JSON file with a "version" field (configured as noted above).

An example of a manifest.json file is below:

{
	"name": "My Test Application",
	"version": "1.3.2-16",
	"codename": "",
	"patchName": "",
	"description": "A test application for me."
}

Once codename has been used (with patchNames enabled); the manifest.json file would be updated automatically as follows:

{
	"name": "My Test Application",
	"version": "1.3.2-16",
	"codename": "Honiara Nimitz",
	"patchName": "Ithomiid",
	"description": "A test application for me."
}

Options

options.*	Type	Default	Description
patch	Boolean	false	Generate a name for the patch version as well as the main codename.
data	JSON	undefined	Use custom JSON for the codenames (and patchNames as required).
codenames	Object	undefined	Use a custom object for codenames.
patchNames	Object	undefined	Use a custom object for patchNames.

Default Options

Running the task in this way, the codename field of each source file will be automatically changed to the correct codename for the build release.

grunt.initConfig({
    codename: {
        src: ["package.json", "manifest.json"]
    }
})

Custom Options

Running the task in this way, the codename and patchName fields of each traget file will be changed to the correct codename and patchName for the next minor release based on the names contained within the user-supplied codenames.json file.

grunt.initConfig({
    codename: {
        options: {
            patch: true,
            data: grunt.file.readJSON ("codenames.json")
    	},
    	src: ["package.json", "manifest.json"]
    }
})

grunt-codename v0.0.6

"Perseus Amber" (Anoa)

• [ENHANCEMENT] Updated this documentation a little to make the current version restrictions clear.
• [ENHANCEMENT] Updated the demo GruntFile.js (included) to demonstrate our own autoBump method which ensures that single-digit bump occurs when using the utility.
  • When using the configuration as per our demo GruntFile.js bumping the patch part of the version will automatically switch to the minor part of the version and in-turn the major part of the version. For example (always bumping patch):
    • Version 0.8.8-12 becomes 0.8.9-0 which in turn becomes 0.9.0-0.
    • Version 0.9.8-12 becomes 0.9.9-0 which in turn becomes 1.0.0-0.
