copy static images w/o renaming them?

[ralyodio]

I have some static images that my API assumes are always the same name.

The grunt build step will rename foo.png to ./public/images/xxxxxx-foo.png for caching reasons. However my API has no way of knowing what the new image filename is at runtime. Is there anyway to skip renaming of certain images?

Image in question is ./app/images/default-profile-image.png. The API will return a url to that image and assumes it is not renamed.

Rewrites are performed by the grunt rev task:

rev: {
  dist: {
    files: {
      src: [
        '<%%= yeoman.dist %>/public/scripts/{,*/}*.js',
        '<%%= yeoman.dist %>/public/styles/{,*/}*.css',
        '<%%= yeoman.dist %>/public/images/{,*/}*.{png,jpg,jpeg,gif,webp,svg}',
        '<%%= yeoman.dist %>/public/styles/fonts/*'
      ]
    }
  }
},

You can exclude files the same way you do with any grunt task, with a negative matching pattern at the end of the src files list, e.g.

'!<%%= yeoman.dist %>/public/images/nocache/{,*/}*.{png,jpg,jpeg,gif,webp,svg}'

It still renamed them.

This fixed it:

'!<%= yeoman.dist %>/public/images/cache/{,*/}*.{png,jpg,jpeg,gif,webp,svg}' //do not cachebust these files
