gulp-add-tasks
A utility to dynamically add tasks based on a specified task structure to a passed-in instance of gulp
.
Integrates with gulp-help
and run-sequence
to provide a more robust user experience, as well as the ability to run tasks synchronously
Install
npm i gulp-add-tasks --save-dev
Usage
const gulp = ;const addTasks = gulp;
Task list structure
Task list accepts two object structures, one for "multi-tasks" and one for simple task and function pairs, both of which assume each key in the map as the gulp task name.
multi-task structure
Name | Description |
---|---|
tasks |
An array of tasks, passed directly to run-sequence |
description |
A task description, used by gulp-help |
options |
Programmatic options to be utlized by the tasks, used by gulp-help |
aliases |
An array of aliases that the task can be called with, used by gulp-help |
Example
const gulp = ;const addTasks = gulp; ;
gulp build
will now be a runnable task via the CLI, which will, in turn, call gulp sass & gulp babel
(async) via run-sequence
.
single task structure
A simple key/value pair, with the key representing the task name, and the value a reference to a function, can be used to create a simple task. This is particularly useful when used in conjunction with require-tasks
, which generates a structure that can be directly passed to gulp-add-tasks
.
Example
const gulp = ;const addTasks = gulp; ;
gulp babel
will now be a runnable task via the CLI.
Advanced Usage
gulp-add-tasks
supports multi-tasks, separating a nested structure via colons (:
), e.g.
const gulp = ;const addTasks = gulp;
gulp will now have the tasks copy:css
and copy:js
available for usage from the command line.
