webfonts can only copy the whole directory, not files to a destination #328

Closed peterbe closed 9 years ago

peterbe commented 9 years ago

What I'd like is to be able do this:

webfonts: {
    vendor: "vendor/bootstrap/fonts/*.*",
    root: "fonts"
}

And then expect to see generated/fonts/*.svg etc.

Instead, what I get is generated/fonts/vendor/bootstrap/fonts/*.svg.

Hi @peterbe, I believe you can achieve this by adding grunt-contrib-copy, putting its task configuration in linemans config/application.coffee and utilizing the flatten: true option in the task config; more info here: https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt-contrib-copy#usage-examples

FWIW the app already contains grunt-contrib-copy. You could just change the app/static rules or add a new task definition. See "lineman config copy"

Got it working. https://github.com/mozilla/balrog-ui/commit/bc4fd9fdd4c3510368f02e1f8cb34b58bcbcd991 I used lineman config copy (thanks for that command) and added that (plus the key copy:) to the application.js and added a third element to the two arrays.

I guess the issue here is that this was a little bit harder than need be. I'm still a grunt newbee but I think we could possibly win here by making an example here. Or at least making a mention/story about how you can use lineman config <something> to get a merged view of all inherited and actual config.
