gulp-is-binary

Adds an .isBinary() function to the file object, similar to file.isNull() and file.isStream().

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install --save gulp-is-binary

Usage

var gulp = require('gulp');
var isBinary = require('gulp-is-binary');
 
gulp.task('default', function() {
  return gulp.src('some/files/*.*')
    .pipe(isBinary())
});

Example usage

var gulp = require('gulp');
var isBinary = require('gulp-is-binary');
 
gulp.task('default', function() {
  return gulp.src('some/files/*.*')
    .pipe(isBinary())  // this adds the `.isBinary()` property to the file object
    .pipe(through.obj(function(file, enc, next) {
 
      // `file.isBinary()` will check the file to see if it's binary, 
      // so we can avoid reading and potentially corrupting the file
      if (file.isBinary()) {
        next(null, file);
        return;
      }
 
      // do stuff, now that we know that file.contents isn't binary
      next(null, file);
    }));
});
