API

gulp-group-aggregate is a function(options) that returns a read-write stream. The options argument should include two functions: group and aggregate.

options.group

Type: function(File) returns string

Receives a vinyl from the stream and returns a string which represents its group.

options.aggregate

Type: function(string, File[]) returns File.options

Receives a group string as returned from group calls and an array of all the files associated with it. Returns a vinyl constructor.options object. The options will be used to construct a file which will be pushed through the stream.
