gulp-main-node-files

Allows to get main js files from installed /node_modules.

var files = gulpMainNodeFiles([options]);

Installation

npm i --save-dev gulp-main-node-files

Usage

• Connect in gulpfile.js

var mainNodeFiles = require('gulp-main-node-files');

and than

var mainNodeJsFiles = mainNodeFiles();
var src = gulp.src(mainNodeJsFiles, { base: '.' });

• For example, copying js-files from /node_modules folder to /build.

gulp.src(mainNodeFiles(), { base: '.' })
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./build'));

Options

You can pass in the options object to customize function behavior with the following keys:

• packageJsonPath (default - './package.json' ) - a path to your package.json file.

• nodeModulesPath (default - './node_modules') - a path to node_modules folder.

• overrides (no default value) - this is an object that allows override main: section from package.json file.

  • For example, if package points out to the wrong or not the whole-source file:

    mainNodeFiles({
      overrides: {
        'packery': 'dist/packery.pkgd.js'
      }
    })

  • or if you want to return several main files:

  mainNodeFiles({
    overrides: {
      'codemirror': [
        'lib/codemirror.js',
        'mode/clike/clike.js',
        'addon/edit/closebrackets.js',
      ]
    }
  })

• order (no default value) - the object that allows to specify returned main files order. For example, if you further inject returned files into html and want to connect jquery before any other libraries.

  mainNodeFiles({
    order: {
      'jquery': 1,
      'angular': 2
    }
  })

• skip (no default value) - the object which keys represent packages user wants to skip (value for a key should be truthy, if value is falsy, it's the same situation when key is absent at all - package won't be skipped). For example, if you want to build hybrid angular app, you can bundle AngularJS files with gulp-main-node-files and leave Angular ones as is.

  mainNodeFiles({
    skip: {
      'angular': false,
      '@angular/common': true,
      '@angular/compiler': true,
      '@angular/core': true,
      '@angular/forms': true,
      '@angular/http': true,
      '@angular/platform-browser': true,
      '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic': true,
      '@angular/router': true,
      '@angular/upgrade': true,
    }
  })
