rev-del
Delete old, unused fingerprinted files from a revision manifest generated by a module such as gulp-rev.
Install
$ npm install --save-dev rev-del
Usage
;
The manifests can be either objects or paths to files. oldManifest
defaults
to "rev-manifest.json" (which is the default output for gulp-rev), and
newManifest has no default; it's assumed that you've got it in memory, so it's
more efficient to pass it in as an object.
suppress
, when set to false, will throw an error when rev-manifest.json
doesn't exist. You don't normally want to change: usually, the first time you
run your revisioning script, the manifest doesn't exist yet.
With Gulp
rev-del works great with Gulp and gulp-rev. You need to specify either dest
in the options, or base
in the manifest options—unless you're writing
everything to the root directory.
var gulp = ;var rev = ;var revDel = ; gulp
You can pass it the name of the old manifest if you're not using the default:
var gulp = ;var rev = ;var revDel = ; gulp
Call it before you call gulp.dest
.
Note that you only need to change the name of manifest if it is different to
the path given to rev.manifest()
: if you just change the name of the
manifest, rev-del will handle it fine:
// This worksvar gulp = ;var rev = ;var revDel = ; gulp
You can also specify the base
as one of the options. Again, you don't need to
do this if you've given it to rev.manifest()
