I have a problem using grunt with filerev, usemin and angular
For the concept, let's say we have: bar.english.PDF and bar.french.PDF
the filerev work fine and I have bar.english.XXXXXXX.pdf & bar.french.XXXXX.pdf
The problem i am facing is in the way i call those templates. The way i am implementing is as follows:
angular.module('x').directive('x', function(COUNTRY) {
return {
restrict: 'E',
replace: true,
template: '<a href="/pdf/bar.' + COUNTRY +'.pdf" >bla bla bla</a>',
link: function(scope, element, attrs) {
//some basic stuff
}
};
});
My problem in this situation is "usemin/filerev" do not work because the filename is generated when i call it in the code. I have tried many different regexp in usemin/filerev, picking everything of the href attribute or only piece of it. However it didn't work either way.
I'm "sure" the filerev/usemin is fine .It's working with my ng-replace tags in others piece of code (ps: they are not dynamic name generated).
I have look on SO/google for a while now and i still can't figure out a solution to handle this.
I suppose it's a general problem but if you need my gruntfile usemin/filerev section, please ask in comment.
Can someone lead me the way with a useful doc (yeoman/gruntjs did not put this scenario in their docs) like working simple code or advance tutorial somewhere please?. At this point, any useful resource is good to have.
Assuming COUNTRY is a constant in angular, how would you expect filerev/usemin to replace that constant with the new file name? And why not just leave the file name as is? Just exclude bar.english.PDF and bar.french.PDF from these tasks I would say.
Repost as my comment seems to be the accepted answer
