Adding a task with in a task in a gruntfile

I have gruntfile as below:

       concat: {
        options: {
            banner: '<%= banner %>',
            stripBanners: true
        },
        one: {
            src: ['src/**/*.js'],
            dest: 'dist/<%= pkg.name %>_ac.js'
        },

        two: {
            src: ['/types/**/*.js'],
            dest: 'dist/<%= pkg.name %>_lib.js'
        },

        all: {
        }
    },.....  and so on

Now if i register the task like: grunt.registerTask('basic', ['concat:all']);

I want both one and two to run. How shall i add this option in 

     all: {
          // what i need to add here to include one and two both?
     }

You can use 'gruntfile' plugin where you are provided with more powerful functionality and you can add tasks of one grunt file to another using concat.

Grunt allow you to define the main target. So in your default target define as 

grunt.registerTask( 'basic',['concat']);

This will activate the concat:one and concat:two.

If you need to activate a specific target, define your register task as follows.

    grunt.registerTask( 'basic',['concat:one']);

If you need to run the specific task which has multiple targets then you can define as follows.

all: {
     tasks: ['one','two']
    }

Then in your registerTask call the all target.

 grunt.registerTask( 'basic',['concat:all']);

Hope this might help.

No need to add another target if you're registering a task to point to two targets. Just do:

grunt.registerTask('basic', ['concat:one', 'concat:two']);

Otherwise if you're intending on concatenating the files from one and two all together do:

grunt.initConfig({
  concat: {
    one: {
      src: ['src/**/*.js'],
      dest: 'dist/<%= pkg.name %>_ac.js'
    },
    two: {
      src: ['/types/**/*.js'],
      dest: 'dist/<%= pkg.name %>_lib.js'
    },
    all: {
      src: ['<%= concat.one.src %>', '<%= concat.two.src %>'],
      dest: 'dist/<%= pkg.name %>_all.js'
    }
  }
});
