Automatically move inline JavaScript to external file

Question

I'm developing a Chrome App and I'd like to reuse code built for another platform. Since this code is actually a bunch of HTML and some JavaScript here and there, theoretically it would be possible to turn it in a Chrome App without (almost) any changes. The only problem I'm facing is due to in-line JavaScript , which in Chrome Apps is not allowed for security reasons.

Since I don't have full control over the generated HTML , I need a way to automatically find in-line JavaScript , move it into external files and replace it with correct references to these files.

I haven't found any tool suitable for this task. Do you know one?

Maybe something already integrated with Grunt.js or similar stuff.

Answer 1

Use a grunt task that parses the html code. You could use the grunt-dom-munger and define custom rules to extract the inline JavaScript.
Use the dest param to indicate where the code will be extracted.
