gulp-submodule

Load gulp tasks from submodules to their own namespace.

Installation

$ npm install gulp-submodule

Usage

Let's say we have a super project that contains multiple submodules. And we want to run submodule gulp tasks from super projects gulp file.

Example mod/gulpfile.js

var gulp = require('gulp');
 
gulp.task('build', function() {
    console.log('building mod');
});
 
gulp.task('watch', ['build'], function() {
    console.log('watching mod');
});
 
module.exports = "for giggles!";

Example gulpfile.js

var gulp = require('gulp');
require('gulp-submodule')(gulp);
 
var mod = gulp.submodule('mod');
console.log('Mod returns ' + mod);
 
gulp.task('build', ['mod:build'], function() {
    console.log('building super');
});
gulp.task('watch', ['mod:watch'], function() {
 
});
 

Methods

submodule(gulp[, separator])

• gulp gulp object
• separator separator string (default :)

gulp.submodule(module[, options])

• module submodule name
• options options object
  • package | pkg dependency string (ie. 'submodule/gulpfile.js')
  • filepath path to gulp file or directory containing gulpfile.js

If options is omitted then module name is used as the modules directory.

Defining package is same as require(package).

filepath can be a submodule directory or full path to the gulpfile. If filepath points to a directory, then gulpfile.js in that directory is loaded.

If both package and filepath is defined then package is used.

Returns anything that submodule exports.
