Async Scripts

See original GitHub issue

asyncing JS is an important part of performance (defer too). I’d love to be able to specify that a final asset should be async or defer (or both).

Here’s the solution if anyone stumbles across this…

Add any extra parameters you want to include in the output tag right into the build:js comment:

  <!-- build:js /js/foo.js defer -->
  <script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/three.js"></script> 
  <script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/four.js"></script> 
  <!-- endbuild -->
