Is it possible to recursively build the haml files

[axelson]

Is there a way to recursively list the haml files to build rather than directly list every folder that contains *.haml files?

The file patterns for grunt are glob style, so if it's something you can express with glob, then sure.

You can say something like src/**/*.haml. This will find any haml file below the src directory. Or are you looking for something else?

Okay, by mixing that syntax with the 'two' example I can get what I want.

haml: {
  two: {
    files: grunt.file.expandMapping(['_jekyll/**/*.haml'], 'build/', {
      rename: function(base, path) {
        return base + path.replace(/\.haml$/, '').replace(/_jekyll\//, '');
      }
    }),
    options: { language: 'ruby' }
  }
}

Thanks! Although I wish I didn't have to manually remove the jekyll. Is there a way around that? If I just provide something like ['*/_.haml'] grunt never completes.

Nevermind, found a wiki page that explained it. Can I add this to the REAME and submit it as a PR?

Wiki page: http://gruntjs.com/configuring-tasks#building-the-files-object-dynamically

My new config:

  haml_files: {
    expand: true,
    flatten: false,
    cwd: '_jekyll',
    src: ['**/*.haml'],
    dest: 'build/',
    ext: '.html',
    options: { language: 'ruby' }
  }

Please do.
