Grunt-ngmin: is it possible to replace old files to new ones?

Question

I'm using grunt-ngmin to convert AngularJS DI.

I wonder: is it possible to replace old files with new ones without saving them to another location?

It is possible, but bot always desirable, as the output is not always what you'd expect it to be: for instance: controllers that are declared as simple functions won't be converted. — Oleg Belousov, Mar 02 '14 at 15:19

Yes it is possible, you can use a grunt config looking something like this (if you want to replace all javascript files in the static folder):

ngmin: {
    dist: {
        expand: true,
        cwd: './static/',
        src: ['**/*.js'],
        dest: './static/'
    }
}

Be careful that you really want to replace the files though, might want to check the output first, if you haven't done so already.
