gobble-concat

Concatenate files with gobble.

Installation

First, you need to have gobble installed - see the gobble readme for details. Then,

npm i -D gobble-concat

Usage

gobblefile.js

var gobble = require( 'gobble' );
module.exports = gobble( 'js' ).transform( 'concat', { dest: 'bundle.js' });

The dest property is required. Other values - files, sort, separator and writeSourcemap, explained below - are optional.

files

You can specify which files are included, and their order, like so:

var gobble = require( 'gobble' );
module.exports = gobble( 'js' )
  .transform( 'concat', {
    dest: 'bundle.js',
    files: [ 'foo.js', 'bar.js', 'baz.js' ]
  });

The files option can be a minimatch pattern:

var gobble = require( 'gobble' );
module.exports = gobble( 'js' )
  .transform( 'concat', {
    dest: 'bundle.js',
    files: [ 'vendor/**/*.js', 'src/**/*.js' ]
  });

sort

Within each pattern, if multiple files are found, they will be sorted alphabetically by default. You can override this by passing a sort option, which is a standard compare function].

If files match multiple patterns, they will only be included once (upon the first match).

separator

By default, files will be separated by newlines. You can change this to be any string:

var gobble = require( 'gobble' );
module.exports = gobble( 'js' )
  .transform( 'concat', {
    dest: 'bundle.js',
    separator: '/* YOLO */'
  });

writeSourcemap

Concatenating javascript or CSS files requires some extra handling of their sourcemaps, specially in complex workflows. With this option set to true, the sourcemaps of the files to be concatenated will be parsed, files with no sourcemap will be assigned an identity (1:1) sourcemap, and a new sourcemap will be generated from all of them.

The default value is true when dest is a file with a .js or .css extension, and false otherwise.
