gulp-promisify

Enables use of Promises or ES7 async/await keywords to control the flow of Gulp 3 tasks. If using Gulp 4, you should use the .serial() and .parallel() methods instead of this module.

Install

$ npm install --save-dev gulp-promisify

Example

import gulp from 'gulp';
import promisify from 'gulp-promisify';
import tape from 'gulp-tape';
import xo from 'gulp-xo';
 
promisify(gulp);
 
export function lint() {
    return gulp
        .src('*.js')
        .pipe(xo());
}
 
export function test() {
    return gulp
        .src('test.js')
        .pipe(tape());
}
 
export function testParallel() {
    lint();
    test();
}
 
export async function testSeries() {
    await lint();
    await test();
}
 
gulp.task('lint', lint);
gulp.task('test', test);
gulp.task('test:parallel', testParallel);
gulp.task('test:series', testSeries);

API

promisify(gulp)

Causes streams returned by .src(), .dest(), and .symlink() to also be Promise objects with .then() and .catch() methods. The promise is resolved when the stream emits the 'end' event. This promisification propagates to all subsequent streams via .pipe() to ensure that you may await any following stream.

gulp.src('*.js')
    .pipe(somePlugin())
    .pipe(anotherPlugin())
    .pipe(yetAnotherPlugin()); // <- returns a promisified stream
