How to create xml using grunt/gulp?

Question

XML

The xml file contains the ide config (paths for ftp deployment).
It lies in the .idea folder, which has no place in the repository.
For each project, it's too lazy to set up paths every time.
Since grunt is used, the idea arose to generate this file with its help.
Just copying is not suitable, since several values ​​need to be changed (the server name in the main).
Is there a plugin for grunt (or gulp) that allows you to create an xml file according to a certain template, substituting the values ​​of variables from the config?

Answer 1

For grunt you can write your own , it has a templating engine .
Something like this (not tested):

grunt.registerTask('createXml', 'Creates XML by template', function () {
    var template = grunt.file.read(this.data.tpl);
    var xml = grunt.template.process(template, this.data.vars);
    grunt.file.write(this.target, xml);
});

// пример конфига
grunt.initConfig({
    deployPath: 'ftp://example.ftp/',
    
    createXml: {
        '.idea/conf.xml': {
            tpl: 'path/to/template.xml',
            vars: {
                var1: '<%= deployPath %>'
            }
        }
    }
});

For gulp, judging by how it's being praised, it should be even easier :)
