My web application is built using Yeoman and Anjular js with an Index.html currently with all of the build commands to bring in my bower components. I am now trying to add some more .js files to one of my views as per below. When using Grunt Serve everything works fine, however when it comes to using Grunt Build, it doesn't add the "slider.js" to my scripts folder in dist.
If I include the .js files in the index folder, it builds the "slider.js", however when i leave the view and go back to it, the .js functions do not work.
<!-- build:js({.tmp,app}) scripts/slider.js -->
<script src="bower_components/seiyria-bootstrap-slider/js/bootstrap-slider.js"></script>
<script src="bower_components/bootstrap-toggle/js/bootstrap-toggle.min.js"></script>
<script src="bower_components/highlightjs/highlight.pack.js"></script>
<script src="bower_components/modernizr/modernizr.js"></script>
<!-- endbuild -->

As per the comments by @rpadovani, the solution is to edit the below line of code within the gruntfile.js:
and include additional references to the files you want to include in the grunt build task.
For example, if you want it to build in files from the views/about.html page then change the useminPrepare to the following:
