Accept parameters via command line

[stefanjudis]

By the way, our use case requires passing in parameters via the command line i.e. grunt phantomas --film-strip=true - would you be interested in a PR that allowed that?

[stefanjudis]

Hmm... I'm not sure about that.

Why not setting it via options in grunt config?
Can you maybe explain the reasons a bit more in detail? :)

And wouldn't it be a bit inconsistent to pass only phantomas option via cli?
I mean grunt phantomas --film-strip=true is cleary targeting a phantomas option.

To not mix it up grunt phantomas --indexPath=foo shouldn't be possible. And only making phantomas options available doesn't feel correct.

One case i could image this would be helpful is when you want to test a CI setup.
Instead of changing and pushing the config this would allow to test a job in a _cli_ish way.
But i don't know what other options would be included.. so..
My two cents.. ;)

Hmm...
But shouldn't that be handled exactly via config?
I mean isn't that kind of going in the wrong direction. I'm planning to encapsulate this little tool from grunt soon, which means, that it will be a cli tool (or even a real application) - but for now in grunt task area I'm not sure, if it should cover that.

And don't get me wrong, I'm totally open to that - I'm just not sure, if it's a good idea.

@davidlinse You can wrap the phantomas task inside another task on your CI which can take command line paramters

I know, thanks.. Just wanted to contribute a possible use case.

Okay. I'm closing this one. Feel free to reopen if needed. :)
