# Combine media queries > Combine matching media queries into one media query definition. Useful for CSS generated by preprocessors using nested media queries. This was written as a solution to a problem we have using LESS CSS for our mobile first sites. ## Getting Started This plugin requires Grunt `~0.4.1` If you haven't used [Grunt](http://gruntjs.com/) before, be sure to check out the [Getting Started](http://gruntjs.com/getting-started) guide, as it explains how to create a [Gruntfile](http://gruntjs.com/sample-gruntfile) as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command: ```shell npm install grunt-combine-media-queries --save-dev ``` Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript: ```js grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-combine-media-queries'); ``` ## The "cmq" task ### Overview In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named `cmq` to the data object passed into `grunt.initConfig()`. ```js grunt.initConfig({ cmq: { your_target: { // Target-specific file lists and/or options go here. }, }, }) ``` ### Options #### log Type: `boolean` Default: `false` Log processed media queries. ### Usage Examples #### Default Options In this example, all the css files in `test` are processed and moved to the folder `tmp` ```js grunt.initConfig({ cmq: { options: { log: false }, your_target: { files: { 'tmp': ['test/*.css'] } } } }) ``` ## Contributing In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint and test your code using [Grunt](http://gruntjs.com/). ## Release History * 28-10-13 - v1.0.8 - Package.json fix * 27-10-13 - v1.0.7 - Package.json fix * 01-09-13 - v1.0.6 - Comments are now preserved in CSS output. * 30-07-13 - v1.0.2 - Ordering now done by min-width, min-height, max-width, max-height and print. * 26-07-13 - v1.0.1 - Breaking change task name changed to `cmq`. * 26-07-13 - v1.0.0 - Initial release.
