gulp-permalinks

Gulp plugin for easily creating permalinks for vinyl files.

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install --save gulp-permalinks

Usage

var permalinks = require('gulp-permalinks');

API

Params

• structure {String}: permalink structure to use for each file. See permalinks for more details.
• options {Object}: Additional options to pass to permalinks and to control how files are handled in the stream.
• options.flush {Boolean}: When set to true the files will be pushed back onto the stream in the "flush" function to ensure that all files are updated before continuing. Defaults to false.
• options.update {Boolean}: When set to false the files' path property will not be updated with the new permalink. Defaults to true.
• options.permalinks {Object}: Optionally pass your own instance of permalinks.
• fn {Function}: Optional function that will be passed the file as it comes through the stream. This allows a user to set custom properties on file.data to be available in the structure.
• returns {Stream}: Stream that can be used in a gulp pipeline.

Example

gulp.task('permalinks', function() {
  return gulp.src('path/to/posts/*.md')
    .pipe(permalinks('blog/:stem/index.html'))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('_gh_pages'));
});

Examples

Default file properties

This example uses somes of the default file properties calculated from the file.path.

gulp.task('permalinks', function() {
  return gulp.src('path/to/posts/*.md')
    .pipe(permalinks('blog/:stem/index.html'))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('_gh_pages'));
});
 
// writes to '_gh_pages/blog/my-file-stem/index.html'

Custom helpers

      foo: function() {
        return this.context.stem.toUpperCase();
      },
      date: function() {
        return moment().format('YYYY/MM/DD');
      }
    }
  }
 
  return gulp.src('path/to/posts/*.md')
    .pipe(permalinks('blog/:date/:foo.html', options))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('_gh_pages'));
});
 
// writes to '_gh_pages/blog/2017/02/15/MY-FILE-STEM.html'
