When using grunt-html-build, you can generate a HTML page using many input files.

Let's take an application directory like this :

  • views
    • view1.html
    • view2.html
  • templates
    • tmpl1.html
    • tmpl2.html
  • index.html

index.html

<html>
	<head>
		...
	</head>
	<body>
		<!-- build:section recursive views --><!-- /build -->
		<!-- build:section templates --><!-- /build -->
	</body>
</html>

Gruntfile.js

grunt.initConfig({
    htmlbuild: {
        src: 'index.html',
        dest: 'dist/',
        options: {
            sections: {
                views: 'views/**/*.html',
                templates: 'templates/**/*.html',
            }
        }
    }
});

After grunt build process the index.html file will contain files in views and template directories.

Recursive option

If the recursive option is specified in the tag, grunt-html-build will recursively build every views passed in the section.

Useful to create a main layout file and cut your work in little files.
