# grunt-appdmg
> Grunt plugin for generating Mac OS X DMG-images.
[![NPM Version][npm-image]][npm-url]
[![Build Status][travis-image]][travis-url]
[![Dependency Status][deps-image]][deps-url]
## Overview
**[node-appdmg](https://github.com/LinusU/node-appdmg)** is an awesome command line tool that can generate beautiful disk images (.dmg) for your OS X applications.
This Grunt plugin executes it programmatically using Gruntfile.
You can use [Grunt template strings](http://gruntjs.com/api/grunt.template) in the appdmg config, like: `title: '<%= pkg.name %>'`.
**Note:**
Currently grunt-appdmg works on **Mac OS X only** due to the [node-appdmg limitation](https://github.com/LinusU/node-appdmg/issues/14).
## Getting started
This plugin requires [Grunt](http://gruntjs.com/) `>=0.4.0`.
If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the [Getting started](http://gruntjs.com/getting-started) guide.
### Install
```sh
$ npm install grunt-appdmg --save-dev
```
Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:
```js
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-appdmg');
```
**For cross platform projects:**
If you want to include this plugin in a cross platform project, install grunt-appdmg with `--save-optional` flag instead of `--save-dev`.
This will prevent npm-install error on Windows/Linux.
## The "appdmg" task
### Options
See the **[appdmg specification](https://github.com/LinusU/node-appdmg#json-input)**.
Additionally `basepath` option is available in this plugin.
#### basepath
Type: `String`
Default: `process.cwd()` - directory that contains Gruntfile.js
Optional. Base path to look for asset files: `icon`, `background` and `contents.path`.
### Example
In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named `appdmg` to the data object passed into `grunt.initConfig()`.
```js
grunt.initConfig({
appdmg: {
options: {
basepath: 'path/to/assets',
title: 'Title of DMG',
icon: 'icon.icns',
background: 'background.png',
contents: [
{x: 448, y: 344, type: 'link', path: '/Applications'},
{x: 192, y: 344, type: 'file', path: 'your-app.app'},
{x: 512, y: 128, type: 'file', path: 'extra-file.txt'}
]
},
target: {
dest: 'path/to/your-app.dmg'
}
}
});
```
