how to use grunt-autoprefixer and grunt-sass together?


I'm new to grunt tooling and sass in general, it's been a great learning experience. :) I currently have grunt configured to concat/minimize my SCSS on build. I would like to use the grunt-autoprefixer plugin to add vendor prefixes, however I'm not entirely sure how to integrate it into my existing Gruntfile. In the code below I've started to implement it ( see the commented out "TODO" section), but if anyone could point me in the right direction to get it working it'd be much appreciated :)

Here's my current Gruntfile.js:

module.exports = function(grunt) {
  grunt.initConfig({
    pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),

    sass: {
      options: {
        sourceMap: true
      },

      dist: {
        options: {
          outputStyle: 'compressed'
        },
        files: {
          'css/foundation.css': 'scss/foundation.scss'
        }
      }
    },

    copy: {
      scripts: {
        expand: true,
        cwd: 'bower_components/foundation/js/vendor/',
        src: '**',
        flatten: 'true',
        dest: 'js/vendor/'
      },

      iconfonts: {
        expand: true,
        cwd: 'bower_components/fontawesome/',
        src: ['**', '!**/less/**', '!**/css/**', '!bower.json'],
        dest: 'assets/fontawesome/'
      },

    },

    // TODO: setup autoprefixer
    // autoprefixer: {
    //   options: {
    //     // Task-specific options go here.
    //     browsers: ['last 2 versions', 'ie 8', 'ie 9']
    //   },
    //   your_target: {
    //     // Target-specific file lists and/or options go here.
    //   },
    // },


      'string-replace': {

        fontawesome: {
          files: {
            'assets/fontawesome/scss/_variables.scss': 'assets/fontawesome/scss/_variables.scss'
          },
          options: {
            replacements: [
              {
                pattern: '../fonts',
                replacement: '../assets/fontawesome/fonts'
              }
            ]
          }
        },
      },

    concat: {
        options: {
          separator: ';',
        },
        dist: {
          src: [

          // Foundation core
          'bower_components/foundation/js/foundation/foundation.js',

          // Pick the componenets you need in your project

          // Concat all the files above into one single file
          dest: 'js/foundation.js',
        },
      },

    uglify: {
      dist: {
        files: {
          // Shrink the file size by removing spaces
          'js/foundation.js': ['js/foundation.js']
        }
      }
    },

    watch: {
      grunt: { files: ['Gruntfile.js'] },

      sass: {
        files: 'scss/**/*.scss',
        tasks: ['sass']
      }
    }
  });

  grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-sass');
  grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-autoprefixer');
  grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-watch');
  grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-concat');
  grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-copy');
  grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-uglify');
  grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-string-replace');

  grunt.registerTask('build', ['copy', 'string-replace:fontawesome', 'sass', 'concat', 'uglify']);
  grunt.registerTask('default', ['watch']);
};

Solution

  • You should autoprefix your sass result, so you have to run sass first, and then run autoprefixer.

    Assuming all your css styles are in css/foundation.css:

    autoprefixer:{
      dist:{
        files:{
          'css/foundation.css':'css/foundation.css'
        }
      }
    }
    

    In your build task:

    grunt.registerTask('build', ['copy', 'string-replace:fontawesome', 'sass', 'autoprefixer' 'concat', 'uglify']);
