Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.1

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-cordovacli --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-cordovacli');

The "cordovacli" task

Run this task with the grunt cordovacli command.

Overview

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