Include or exclude gulp files from the stream based on a condition
Usage
1: Exclude things from the stream
Exclude things from entering the stream
var uglify = require('gulp-uglify');
gulp.task('task', function() {
gulp.src(['./**/*.js', '!./node_modules/**'])
.pipe(uglify())
.pipe(gulp.dest('./dist/'));
});
Grab all JavaScript files that aren't in the node_modules folder, uglify them, and write them.
This is fastest because nothing in node_modules ever leaves gulp.src()
2: Remove things from the stream
Remove from here on
var gulpIgnore = require('gulp-ignore');
var uglify = require('gulp-uglify');
var jshint = require('gulp-jshint');
var condition = './gulpfile.js';
gulp.task('task', function() {
gulp.src('./**/*.js')
.pipe(jshint())
.pipe(gulpIgnore.exclude(condition))
.pipe(uglify())
.pipe(gulp.dest('./dist/'));
});
Run JSHint on everything, remove gulpfile from the stream, then uglify and write everything else.
3: Filter only matching things
Include from here on
var gulpIgnore = require('gulp-ignore');
var uglify = require('gulp-uglify');
var jshint = require('gulp-jshint');
var condition = './public/**.js';
gulp.task('task', function() {
gulp.src('./**/*.js')
.pipe(jshint())
.pipe(gulpIgnore.include(condition))
.pipe(uglify())
.pipe(gulp.dest('./dist/'));
});
Run JSHint on everything, filter to include only files from in the public folder, then uglify and write them.
4: Conditionally filter content, include everything down-stream
Condition
var gulpif = require('gulp-if'); // This is gulp-if, not gulp-ignore
var uglify = require('gulp-uglify');
var condition = function(file) {
// Only files whose contents match a pattern
return /a pattern/g.test(String(file.contents));
};
gulp.task('task', function() {
gulp.src('./src/*.js')
.pipe(gulpif(condition, uglify()))
.pipe(gulp.dest('./dist/'));
});
Only uglify the content if the condition is true, but send all the files to the dist folder.
API
exclude(condition [, minimatchOptions])
Exclude files whose file.path
matches, include everything else
include(condition [, minimatchOptions])
Include files whose file.path
matches, exclude everything else
condition
Type: boolean
or stat
object or function
that takes in a vinyl file and returns a boolean or RegularExpression
that works on the file.path
The condition parameter is any of the conditions supported by gulp-match. The file.path
is passed into gulp-match
.
If a function is given, then the function is passed a vinyl file
. The function should return a boolean
.
minimatchOptions
Optional, if it's a glob condition, these options are passed to https://github.com/isaacs/minimatch.
