grunt-jscodeshift

Grunt task to run codemods using jscodeshift

Common Usage

jscodeshift is a tool for running codemods over multiple js files in parallel, which is great for refactoring large codebases. Read more about it here.
grunt-jscodeshift is a simple Grunt task that wraps the jscodeshift runner and lets you execute transformations as part of your Grunt workflow.

Example (somewhat contrived)

Original source code file code.js

var myHeading = document.querySelector('h1');
myHeading.textContent = 'Hello world!';

Transform file transform.js

module.exports = function transformer(file, api) {
  var j = api.jscodeshift;

  return j(file.source)
    .find(j.Identifier)
    .replaceWith(function(p) {
      return j.identifier(p.node.name.split('').reverse().join('')); })
    .toSource();
};

Transformed source code file code.js

var gnidaeHym = tnemucod.rotceleSyreuq('h1');
gnidaeHym.tnetnoCtxet = 'Hello world!';

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.5

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-jscodeshift --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-jscodeshift');

The "jscodeshift" task

grunt.initConfig({
  "jscodeshift": {
    "some-target": {
      "options": {
        "transform": "./transform.js"
      },
      "src": ["src/**/*.js"]
    }
  },
});

Since jscodeshift is designed for code-modifications, it overwrites the source files it iterates over.
If this is not your desired behavior, clone the files beforehand with grunt-contrib-copy.

Options

The options object is passed to jscodeshift. See the jscodeshift documentation for all options.

options.transform

Type: String Default value: './transform.js'

Path to the transform file.
