I'm using Yeoman (v1.x) with grunt (v0.4.2) to build an Angular project. The build task concatenates all my app/script JS files, but it leaves all of my dependency files unconcatenated, so that my built index.html makes these calls:

<script src="ponents/angular-unstable/angular.js"></script>
<script src="ponents/jquery/jquery.js"></script>
<script src="ponents/angular-resource/angular-resource.js"></script>
<script src="ponents/bootstrap/js/bootstrap-dropdown.js"></script>
<script src="ponents/moment/moment.js"></script>
<script src="ponents/underscore/underscore.js"></script>

<!-- xxxxxbuild:js scripts/scripts.js -->
<script src="scripts/274baf7d.scripts.js"></script>

I would like all of the ponents my project uses, i.e. angular.js, jquery.js, and so forth, to be in scripts.js. Is it easy to reconfigure the GruntFile to do so? Or is this not done by default for a practical reason?

• javascript
• angularjs
• yeoman
• gruntjs

• Yes I have the same question, why is this left as a default? What happens if you use mon CDNs, does that mean they shouldn't be concatenated? Also what about things like modernizr? They cannot be concatenated either because it needs to be at the top of the page. – CMCDragonkai Commented Jul 22, 2013 at 8:37

Yes, this is easy to configure. Just add the vendors scripts in the sources you pass the grunt concat task.

// Project configuration.
grunt.initConfig({
  concat: {
    dist: {
      src: ['vendors/**/*.js', 'scripts/**/*.js'],
      dest: 'built.js'
    }
  }
});
