TomNix / Gulp-Practice

A repo for reference and practice of using Gulp taskrunner and common gulp tasks

Gulp Taskrunner Repo

This will serve as a reference repository for common setup and tasks using Gulp taskrunner.

---

Preparing Gulp

• Create package.json (using npm init generally)
• Install gulp locally and globally (npm i --save-dev gulp)
• Create a src directory
  • This is where all files that will be used for gulp will go
  • A dist folder will be created for post-compilation output
  • (src and dist are not required folder names)
• Create a gulpfile (gulpfile.js)
• Require gulp (const gulp = require('gulp');)

Top Level Tasks

Follows structure of gulp.task(taskName: String, callback(){});

Run with gulp taskName

• gulp.task - Define tasks
• gulp.src - Point to files for use
• gulp.dest - Point to folder destination of post-compilation files
• gulp.watch - Watch files/folders for changes
