SailsJS v0.10.0-rc7 / grunt loading js assets in correct order

assets, gruntjs, jquery, sails.js

Solution

Found the solution - couldn't find any documentation for this though...

need to edit `tasks/pipeline.js`

// Client-side javascript files to inject in order
// (uses Grunt-style wildcard/glob/splat expressions)
var jsFilesToInject = [

  // Dependencies like sails.io.js, jQuery, or Angular
  // are brought in here
  'js/dependencies/jquery.js',
  'js/dependencies/bootstrap.js',
  'js/dependencies/angular.js',
  'js/dependencies/**/*.js',


  // All of the rest of your client-side js files
  // will be injected here in no particular order.
  'js/**/*.js'
];

Problem

I am trying to learn SailsJS, however am experiencing some difficulties with lack of documentation on a newer version of Sails. Ok, so Linker has been removed... And my gruntfile.js is different to that in sailscasts. I am running sails `v0.10.0-rc7`which is different to the documentation on the website which is for `v0.9.0`. How do I modify my gruntfile to load jquery before bootstrap? Even better, is it possible to dump grunt and run gulp instead? Thanks in advance. http://irlnathan.github.io/sailscasts/blog/2013/08/22/building-a-sails-application-ep2a-a-quick-supplement-to-some-stuff-i-forgot-to-mention-in-episode-2/ ``` /** * Gruntfile * * This Node script is executed when you run `grunt` or `sails lift`. * It's purpose is to load the Grunt tasks in your project's `tasks` * folder, and allow you to add and remove tasks as you see fit. * For more information on how this works, check out the `README.md` * file that was generated in your `tasks` folder. * * WARNING: * Unless you know what you're doing, you shouldn't change this file. * Check out the `tasks` directory instead. */ module.exports = function(grunt) { // Load the include-all library in order to require all of our grunt // configurations and task registrations dynamically. var includeAll; try { includeAll = require('include-all'); } catch (e0) { try { includeAll = require('sails/node_modules/include-all'); } catch(e1) { console.error('Could not find `include-all` module.'); console.error('Skipping grunt tasks...'); console.error('To fix this, please run:'); console.error('npm install include-all --save`'); console.error(); grunt.registerTask('default', []); return; } } /** * Loads Grunt configuration modules from the specified * relative path.
