load-common-gulp-tasks

Load common gulp tasks and configs so you don't need to redefine them for every module

Supplies a common interface to the following gulp modules:

1. gulp-mocha
2. gulp-jshint
3. gulp-istanbul
4. gulp-istanbul-enforcer
5. gulp-plato
6. gulp-help
7. gulp-nice-package
8. gulp-shrinkwrap

Available Tasks

gulp help for available tasks. Right now these are the default tasks:

Debug Tests

You can debug your mocha tests using a tool like node-inspector combined with the gulp test-debug target

Basic Usage

// gulpfile.js
var gulp = require('load-common-gulp-tasks')(require('gulp'));

Options

load-common-gulp-tasks tries to assume smart defaults but also attempts to be very configurable. Each option can be overridden by passing an options object as the second parameter, e.g. require('load-common-gulp-tasks')(gulp, options);

options.istanbul

Type: Object

Default:

{
  includeUntested: true
}

See here for all available options

options.istanbulWriteReports

Type: Object

Default:

{
  dir: './target/coverage'
}

See here for all available options

options.istanbulEnforcer

Type: Object

Default:

{
  thresholds: {
    statements: 80,
    branches: 70,
    lines: 80,
    functions: 80
  },
  coverageDirectory: './target/coverage',
  rootDirectory: ''
}

See here for all available options

options.paths

Type: Object

Default:

{
  lint: [
    './*.js',
    './lib/**/*.js',
    './test/**/*.js'
  ],
  felint: [
    './content/**/*.js'
  ],
  cover: [
    './lib/**/*.js'
  ],
  test: [
    './test/**/*.js'
  ]
}

Glob paths used by the associated targets

options.jshintrc.server

Type: String

Default: node_modules/load-common-gulp-tasks/lint/.jshintrc

.jshintrc file to use when running gulp lint target

options.jshintrc.client

Type: String

Default: node_modules/load-common-gulp-tasks/felint/.jshintrc

.jshintrc file to use when running gulp felint target

options.complexity.destDir

Type: String

Default: ./target/complexity

Report destination.

options.complexity.options

Type: Object

Default: {}

Options passed to complexity-report.

options.showStreamSize

Type: Boolean

Default: false

options.nicePackage.spec

Type: String

Default: npm

spec option for package.json-validator

options.nicePackage.options

Type: Object

{
    warnings: false,
    recommendations: false
}

spec option for package.json-validator

options.mocha

Type: Object

Default:

{
    timeout: 2000,
    reporter: 'dot'
}

These options are passed to gulp-mocha in testing tasks.

If a timeout option is given, it will also be used as a default value for options.mochaWatch, used in 'watching' test tasks.

See here for all available options

options.mochaWatch

Type: Object

Default:

{
    timeout: 2000,  // overriden by options.mocha.timeout if present
    reporter: 'min',
    growl: true
}

If a timeout option is not given here, but in options.mocha, it will be used here. These options are passed to gulp-mocha when used in 'watching' tests.

See here for all available options Note: some options, like growl, remain undocumented.

Advanced Usage

To override default tasks or create new ones, simply define them after calling require('load-common-gulp-tasks')(gulp); in your gulpfile.js, e.g.

var gulp = require('gulp'),
  sass = require('gulp-sass'),
  sassFiles = './lib/*/sass/*.scss',
  options;
 
// ------------------------
// custom coverage settings
// ------------------------
options = {
  istanbulEnforcer: {
    thresholds: {
      statements: 83, // higher than default
      branches: 59, // lower than default
      // lines not defined. use default
      functions: 58
    }
  }
};
 
// ------------------------
// load common tasks
// ------------------------
require('load-common-gulp-tasks')(gulp, options);
 
// ------------------------
// custom tasks
// ------------------------
gulp.task('watch', 'Watch sass files and recompile on change', function () {
  gulp.watch(sassFiles, ['styles']);
});
 
gulp.task('styles', 'Compile sass to css', function () {
  return gulp.src(sassFiles)
    .pipe(sass())
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./public'));
});
