Loading "gruntfile.js" tasks...ERROR >> ReferenceError: grunt is not defined

there is a problem in my code.

I wrote in concole: grunt connect

This is the errormessage:

Loading "gruntfile.js" tasks...ERROR

ReferenceError: grunt is not defined Warning: Task "connect" not found. Use --force to continue.

Aborted due to warnings.

And this is my gruntfile.js file:

module.exports = function(grunt) {
 // Project configuration.
 grunt.initConfig({
   pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),
    connect: {
     uses_defaults: {}
   }

 });
 // Load Grunt plugins
 grunt.loadNpmTasks('');
 // Default task(s).
 grunt.registerTask('default', []);
};



// Load Grunt plugins
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-connect');

What is the problem in my code? Why doesn't it find the connect task?

"Every Gruntfile (and gruntplugin) uses this basic format, and all of your Grunt code must be specified inside this function:" -https://gruntjs.com/getting-started

module.exports = function(grunt) {
  // Do grunt-related things in here
};

Moving grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-connect'); inside this function should fix it.
