Adding a style css file to grunt vendor


Whenever I add manually a css file to my index.html page that file is removed when I build. What configuration am I missing?

For instance "rzslider.css" is removed even though it's included in my bower.json. Is there a way to force it to be built into vendor?

Index.html:

<!-- build:css(.) styles/vendor.css -->
<!-- bower:css -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="bower_components/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="bower_components/angular-motion/dist/angular-motion.min.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="bower_components/angularjs-slider/dist/rzslider.css" />
<!-- endbower -->
<!-- endbuild -->

Solution

  • Editing the dependency's bower.json file is what I was after. (bower_components/FOLDER/bower.json)

    changed:

    "main": "rzslider.js",
    

    To

    "main": [
        "rzslider.js",
        "dist/rzslider.css"
    ],
    

    This sticks the css file in my index.html under the vendor section. Hopefully this'll help anyone else who comes along and struggles with this.
