gulp-filter-each

Filter files from a Gulp stream based on their content or filepath.

Install

npm install gulp-filter-each

Usage

Pass a function to the plugin, which takes three possible arguments:

• content - contents of the file as readable string (UTF8)
• filepath - path/filename of the file
• done - callback to be used for async operation

Return a truthy/falsy value to filter files in the stream:

• true (or truthy) to include the file
• false (or falsy) to exclude the file

Use for both sync or async operations:

• sync - simply return a value (see examples below)
• async - accept a third argument which is a callback to call when done (see examples below)

Examples

const gulp = require('gulp')
const filter = require('gulp-filter-each')
 
gulp.task('filter-empty-files', () => {
  return gulp
    .src('src/**/*')
    .pipe(filter(content => content))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('dist'))
})
 
gulp.task('filter-by-content', () => {
  return gulp
    .src('src/**/*')
    .pipe(filter(content => content.match(/something/gi)))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('dist'))
})
 
gulp.task('filter-by-filepath', () => {
  return gulp
    .src('src/**/*.js')
    .pipe(filter((content, filepath) => filepath.match(/something/gi)))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('dist'))
})
 
gulp.task('filter-async', () => {
  return gulp
    .src('src/**/*.js')
    .pipe(filter((content, filepath, done) => {
      // Simulating async operation
      setTimeout(() => {
        done(true) // Callback
      }, 500)
    }))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('dist'))
})
