gulp-autopolyfiller

Autopolyfiller - Precise polyfills. Automatic and minimal polyfills for your code.

It accepts multiply js files and returns a file with all required polyfills. Please note: all input files will be dropped from the output stream of autopolyfiller. To concat polyfills with all your js files please refer to examples.

Usage

First, install gulp-autopolyfiller as a development dependency:

npm install --save-dev gulp-autopolyfiller

Then, add it to your gulpfile.js:

var autopolyfiller = require('gulp-autopolyfiller');
 
gulp.task('autopolyfiller', function () {
    return gulp.src('./lib/**/*.js')
        .pipe(autopolyfiller('result_polyfill_file.js'))
        .pipe(gulp.dest('./dist'));
});

options.browsers

Type: Array Default value: [] - all browsers

options.include

Type: Array Default value: [] - list of polyfills to remove

List of target browsers. Autopolyfiller uses Autoprefixer-style browsers format. See Browsers format for details.

Examples

Basic

Steps:

• Concat all scripts
• Generate polyfills
• Append polyfills
• Uglify

var gulp = require('gulp');
var concat = require('gulp-concat');
var order = require('gulp-order');
var uglify = require('gulp-uglify');
var autopolyfiller = require('gulp-autopolyfiller');
var merge = require('event-stream').merge;
 
gulp.task('default', function () {
    // Concat all required js files
    var all = gulp.src('js/*.js')
        .pipe(concat('all.js'));
 
    // Generate polyfills for all files
    var polyfills = all
        .pipe(autopolyfiller('polyfills.js'));
 
    // Merge polyfills and all files streams
    return merge(polyfills, all)
        // Order files. NB! polyfills MUST be first
        .pipe(order([
            'polyfills.js',
            'all.js'
        ]))
        // Make single file
        .pipe(concat('all.min.js'))
        // Uglify it
        .pipe(uglify())
        // And finally write `all.min.js` into `build/` dir
        .pipe(gulp.dest('build'));
});

Browsers targets

You can specify list of target browsers to reduce amount of polyfills.

var autopolyfiller = require('gulp-autopolyfiller');
 
gulp.src('./your/js/**/*.js')
    .pipe(autopolyfiller('result_polyfill_file.js', {
        browsers: ['last 2 version', 'ie 8', 'ie 9']
    }))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./dist'));

Default browsers of Autoprefixer

var autopolyfiller = require('gulp-autopolyfiller');
 
gulp.src('./your/js/**/*.js')
    .pipe(autopolyfiller('result_polyfill_file.js', {
        browsers: require('autoprefixer').default
    }))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./dist'));

Removig polyfills

var autopolyfiller = require('gulp-autopolyfiller');
 
gulp.src('./your/js/**/*.js')
    .pipe(autopolyfiller('polyfills_without_promises.js', {
        exclude: ['Promise']
    }))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./dist'));
