Usage

A GulpTask instance is initialized from 6 options:

• name (mandatory): A stem from which all task names are formed. 3 tasks are generated automatically: exec:stem, watch:stem and tdd:stem, the latter running first exec:stem before starting watching.
• description (optional): A description for the exec:stem task.
• glob (mandatory): Glob for files to be sourced; base is always process.cwd().
• pipe (optional): Array of initializer plugins with arguments used by underlying PolyPipe.
• dest (optional): Where to write the transformed files.
• fn (optional): Overrides pipe and dest, providing a custom function for the current task.
• dependsOn (optional): GulpTask name or array of GulpTask names; Ensures that tasks depended upon are executed first. Note that if dependency tasks have dest defined, then the dependency is implicitly set anyway.
• debug (optional): If true, debugging messages are logged onto the screen for every file going through your pipes.

Two options are mandatory: name and glob. But at least one of pipe, dest or fn should be provided for the task to do anything.

Transpiling example

import GulpTask from 'gulptask';
import gulp from 'gulp';
import babel from 'gulp-babel';
 
new GulpTask({
  name: 'transpile:all',
  description: 'Transpiling all Js source files',
  glob: 'src/**/*.js',
  pipe: [babel],
  dest: 'build',
});
 
gulp.task('default', gulp.series('exec:transpile:all'));
