> A grunt task for running CommonJS modules compiler (https://github.com/dsheiko/cjsc)

CJSC is a command-line tool that makes your Common JS modules suitable for in-browser use.

Modular programming separates the functionality of a program into independent modules, so that each module
encapsulates everything required to implement a single aspect of the desired functionality. That makes the entire
system easier to debug, update and modify. Prior to Ecma-262 Edition 6, which is still a working draft,
JavaScript had no build-in facilities to define a module. Nonetheless the module pattern can be
achieved in JavaScript by leveraging closure scopes. There are also standardized
approaches: CommonJS Modules/1.1 and AMD (Asynchronous module definition).
The fist one was initially designed for server-side (desktop app) JavaScript while the second is widely used in
browser-oriented web applications. CommonJS Compiler tool converts CommonJS modules into a single JavaScript file that run natively in browser.

> Note: This used to be called 'grunt-contrib-cjsc' in the npm registry, but as of version 1.0.0 it has taken over the 'grunt-cjsc' name.

## Getting Started
This plugin requires Grunt `~0.4.1`

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-cjsc --save-dev
```

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

```js
grunt.loadNpmTasks( "grunt-cjsc" );
```

## The "cjsc" task

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

```js
grunt.initConfig({
cjsc: {
your_target: {
options: {
sourceMap: "",
sourceMapUrl: "",
minify: false,
banner: "/*! %> */",
transform: [{
target: "babelify",
options: {
presets: [ "es2015" ]
}
}],
config: {
"": {
"path": "",
"require": "",
"exports": ""
}
}
},
files: {
"destination file" : "source file",
"destination file" : "source file"
}
}
}
})
```

### Usage Examples

#### Compile main.js to build.js
```js
grunt.initConfig({
cjsc: {
development: {
files: {
"./fixture/build.js" : "./fixture/main.js"
}
}
}
});
```

#### Compile main.js to build.js and generate source map
```js
grunt.initConfig({
cjsc: {
development: {
options: {
sourceMap: "fixture/*.map",
sourceMapUrl: "http://localhost/",
},
files: {
"./fixture/build.js" : "./fixture/main.js"
}
}
}
});
```

#### Compile with compression and prepend destination code with a banner
```js
grunt.initConfig({
pkg: grunt.file.readJSON( "package.json" ),
cjsc: {
options: {
minify: true,
banner: "/*! <%= pkg.name %> - v<%= pkg.version %> - " +
"<%= grunt.template.today(\"yyyy-mm-dd\") %> */"
},
development: {
files: {
"./fixture/build.js" : "./fixture/main.js"
}
}
}
});
```

#### Compile main.js to build.js by using dependency configuration
```js
grunt.initConfig({
cjsc: {
options: {
config: {
"jQuery": {
"path": "./jquery-stub.js"
},
"plugin": {
"path": "./jquery-plugin-stub.js",
"require": "jQuery",
"exports": "jQuery"
}
}
},
development: {
files: {
"./fixture/build.js" : "./fixture/main.js"
}
}
}
});
```
