Updating file references in a json file via a grunt task

Question

I\'m a JavaScript developer and fairly new to creating a build process from scratch. I chose to use Grunt for my current project and have created a GruntFile that does about 90%

I do something similar - you can load your manifest, update the contents then serialize it out again. Something like:

grunt.registerTask('fixmanifest', function() {
     var tmpPkg = require('./path/to/manifest/manifest.json');

     tmpPkg.foo = "bar";
     fs.writeFileSync('./new/path/to/manifest.json', JSON.stringify(tmpPkg,null,2));
});
