## Getting Started
_If you haven't used [grunt][] before, be sure to check out the [Getting Started][] guide._

From the same directory as your project's [Gruntfile][Getting Started] and [package.json][], install this plugin with the following command:

```bash
npm install grunt-styleguide --save-dev
```

Once that's done, add this line to your project's Gruntfile:

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

If the plugin has been installed correctly, running `grunt --help` at the command line should list the newly-installed plugin's task or tasks. In addition, the plugin should be listed in package.json as a `devDependency`, which ensures that it will be installed whenever the `npm install` command is run.

## The "styleguide" task

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

```
grunt.initConfig({

styleguide: {

options: {
// global options
},

your_target: {

options: {
// task options
},

files: {
// files to process
}

}

}

})
```
An example configuration can be viewed [here](https://gist.github.com/3932026)

#### Options

By default **grunt-styleguide** will attempt to rationalize options for each of the styleguide frameworks supported depending upon the features available to the framework in use.

##### Defaults


Key
Type
Default
Required
Description

framework
String, object, function (*)
styledocco
No
Details about the styleguide framework

name
String
undefined
No
Title of the styleguide

template
Object
Template bundled with framework
No
Details of the templates to use for rendering if supported

files
Object, String, Array
undefined
Yes
Details of the templates to use for rendering if supported

> \* See [extending grunt-styleguide]()

#### Framework Options

Should you wish to pass additional options which are supported by a framework then these can be passed as an options as part of the framework object.

```
styleguide: {

dist: {

options: {

framework: {
name: 'framework_name',
options: {
'somearg': 'somevalue',
'someflag: true
}
}

},

files: {
'path/to/dest': 'path/to/source'
}

}

}
```

#### Template Options

Depending upon the framework, it may be possible to also pass templates to use for rending a styleguide.

```
styleguide: {

dist: {

options: {

template: {
src: 'path/to/templates',
include: ['path/of/resources/to/include']
}

},

files: {
'path/to/dest': 'path/to/source'
}

}

}
```


Key
Type
Required
Description

src
String
No
Location of the template to use

include
String, Array
No
Resources to include

Depending upon the framework you wish to use example templates can be found in:

`node_modules/grunt-styleguide/templates//templates`

A generic template is provide also:

`node_modules/grunt-styleguide/templates/generic`

Copy these to a location which is part of your project and modify your gruntfile to support your individual requirements.

#### CSS Preprocessors

By default **grunt-styleguide** will determine the CSS preprocessor to use by evaluating the selected source files. This value will be passed as an option to framework and if supported will be used by it.

### Usage Examples

#### Default Options
In this example a styleguide will be generated using the default generator, `styledocco`. Guides will be created for css/scss located within the **core** and **plugins** directory and output them to the appropriate destination specified.

```
grunt.initConfig({

styleguide: {

dist: {

files: {
'docs/core': 'stylesheets/sass/core/*.scss',
'docs/plugins': 'stylesheets/sass/plugins/*.scss'
}

}

}

});
```

## Contributing
In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint and test your code using [grunt][].
