gulp package management helper
Features
- Smart package-require notation
- Add 'install' task to your gulpfile
- Add 'uninstall' task to your gulpfile
Install
$ npm install gulp-packages
Features1: Smart package-require notation
BEFORE
gulpfile.js
var gulp = ;var less = ;var coffee = ;var pleeease = ;var minifyCss = ;var taskListing = ;var minHtm = ;var uglify = ;var rename = ;var watch = ;var plumber = ;var coffeelint = ;var concat = ;
AFTER
gulpfile.js
var gulp = ;var pkg = gulp 'less' 'coffee' 'pleeease' 'minify-css' // MUST call it by pkg.minifyCss() 'taskListing' // CamelCase of package name, call it by pkg.taskListing() 'html-minifier as minHtm' // call it by pkg.minHtm(), pkg.htmlMinifier DOESN'T work! 'uglify' 'rename' 'watch' 'plumber' 'coffeelint' 'concat';
For the above example, Packages are loaded into pkg
variable.
Use of loaded packages
gulp // <- // <- pkg.XXX(package name) // <- ;
Features2: Add 'install' task to your gulpfile
When the following conditions:
gulpfile.js
var gulp = ;var pkg = gulp 'less' 'coffee' 'pleeease' 'minify-css' 'taskListing' 'uglify' // <- not installed yet 'html-minifier as minHtm' // <- not installed yet 'rename' // <- not installed yet 'watch' 'plumber' // <- not installed yet 'coffeelint' 'concat' // <- not installed yet;
BEFORE
$ npm install gulp-uglify gulp-html-minifier gulp-rename gulp-plumber gulp-concat --save-dev
AFTER
$ gulp install
Features3: Add 'uninstall' task to your gulpfile
When the following conditions:
gulpfile.js
var gulp = ;var pkg = gulp 'less' 'coffee' 'pleeease' 'minify-css' 'taskListing' 'watch' 'coffeelint';
and
package.json
{ "devDependencies": { "coffee-script": "*", "gulp": "*", "gulp-coffee": "*", "gulp-coffeelint": "*", "gulp-concat": "*", // <- no longer using "gulp-less": "*", "gulp-minify-css": "*", "gulp-pleeease": "*", "gulp-plumber": "*", // <- no longer using "gulp-rename": "*", // <- no longer using "gulp-uglify": "*", // <- no longer using "gulp-html-minifier": "*", // <- no longer using "gulp-watch": "*", "gulp-task-listing": "*" }}
BEFORE
$ npm uninstall gulp-concat gulp-plumber gulp-rename gulp-uglify gulp-html-minifier --save-dev
AFTER
$ gulp uninstall
Package name rule
- Remove 'gulp-'
- [optional] Convert to CamelCase (You can specify non-converted package name. But you must convert to CamelCase when call it)
- "as" overwrites call name for shorter or else
Example
gulp-name | pkg-name | call-name | note |
---|---|---|---|
gulp-uglify | 'uglify' | pkg.uglify() | |
gulp-minify-css | 'minifyCss' | pkg.minifyCss() | CamelCase of package name |
gulp-minify-css | 'minify-css' | pkg.minifyCss() | Specify non-converted package name |
gulp-minify-css | 'minify-css as minCss' | pkg.minCss() | Using alias |
