> Grunt plugin to generate atom-shell asar packages.

This exposes just the most basic functionality at the moment. Convert a whole directory into an [asar](https://github.com/atom/asar) archive. Symbolic links are currently not tested.

Now supports grunt file expansion.

## Getting Started
This plugin requires Grunt `~0.4.0`

If you haven't used [Grunt](http://gruntjs.com/) before, be sure to check out the [Getting Started](http://gruntjs.com/getting-started) guide, as it explains how to create a [Gruntfile](http://gruntjs.com/sample-gruntfile) as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

```shell
npm install grunt-asar --save-dev
```

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

```js
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-asar');
```

## The "asar" task

### Overview
In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named `asar` to the data object passed into `grunt.initConfig()`.

```js
grunt.initConfig({
asar: {
your_target: {
// Target-specific file lists and/or options go here.
files: {
// Your simple dir-to-file mappings go here
// 'archivename.asar': ['some/path'],
},
},
your_advanced_target: {
// Your expanding patterns go like this
// cwd: 'some/path',
// src: ['**/*'],
// expand: true,
// dest: 'archivename.asar'
},
},
});
```

### Usage Examples

```js
grunt.initConfig({
asar: {
all: { // target
files: {
'app.asar': ['app/'],
'modules.asar': ['node_modules/'],
},
},
},
});
```

The same example with targets for each archive.

```js
grunt.initConfig({
asar: {
app: { // target
files: {
'app.asar': ['app/'],
},
},
modules: { // target
files: {
'modules.asar': ['node_modules/'],
},
},
},
});
```

You can also use grunt file expansion to filter.

```js
grunt.initConfig({
asar: {
my_app: {
cwd: 'some/path',
// Skip png's and the folder 'dir1' and its contents.
src: ['**/*', '!**/*.png', '!dir1', '!dir1/**/*'],
expand: true,
dest: 'my_app.asar'
},
},
});
```
