Dynamically add version number to dest output files w/ grunt

by

I implemented: https://github.com/erickrdch/grunt-string-replace

In my source css/js files, I use the text {{ VERSION }} which gets replaced with the version number set in the package.json file. Below is the config I added to Gruntfile.js.

'string-replace': {
  version: {
    files: {
      // the files I did string replacement on
    },
    options: {
      replacements: [{
        pattern: /{{ VERSION }}/g,
        replacement: '<%= pkg.version %>'
      }]
    }
  }
},
pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),
