Gag

Gag allows you to split your Gulpfile in multiple modules and allow extensions to pitch in to extend existing tasks.

Installation

npm install --save gag

Usage

Each module has its own Gagfile.js, that collects tasks and combines dependencies. They can then be pulled in from the module that needs building in its Gulpfile and invoked through the usual gulp CLI semantics.

It also gives submodules a simplified access to main module's package.json config section and to the command line parameters, that get merged in a single object for ease of access and overriding.

Gagfile.js

Namespaced tasks

var Gag = require('gag');
 
module.exports = new Gag(module, function (gulp, config) {
  gulp.task('js', function () {
    // ...
  });
});
 

Extending tasks

var Gag = require('gag');
 
module.exports = new Gag(module, function (gulp, config) {
  gulp.extend('js', new Gag.Pipeline()
    .before(somePlugin)
    .after(someOtherPlugin)
  );
 
});
 

Gulpfile.js

var Gag  = require('gag');
var gulp = require('gulp');
 
new Gag(module)
    .weave('moduleA/Gagfile.js')
    .weave('moduleB/Gagfile.js')
    .pour(gulp);
