Serves the vinyl stream directly

Build Status Build status codecov.io Greenkeeper badge

Usage

import gulp from 'gulp'
import vinylServe from 'vinyl-serve'
import someTransform from './somewhere'
 
gulp.src('src/**/*.js')
  .pipe(someTransform())
  .pipe(vinylServe(7000))

This starts the server at port 7000 and, for example, localhost:7000/foo.js responses the transformed contents of src/foo.js.

Recipes

Serve multiple source streams

gulp.task('serve', function () {
 
  gulp.src('js/**/*.js')
    .pipe(someTransform())
    .pipe(vinylServe(7000))
 
  gulp.src('css/**/*.scss')
    .pipe(anotherTransform())
    .pipe(vinylServe(7000))
 
  gulp.src('html/**/*.html')
    .pipe(vinylServe(7000))
 
})

Modify the base path

gulp.src('./js/**/*.js', {base: './'})
  .pipe(someTransform())
  .pipe(vinylServe(7000))

With the above example, if you have js/foo.js, it's served at the path /js/foo.js, not /foo.js.

Debug

At the address __vinyl__, you can see the debug page and find all the available paths in the server.
