@types/gulp

What is @types/gulp?

@types/gulp provides TypeScript type definitions for the Gulp task runner, allowing developers to use Gulp with TypeScript and benefit from type checking and autocompletion.

What are @types/gulp's main functionalities?

Creating a Gulp Task

Defines a simple Gulp task named 'default' that logs a message to the console.

const gulp = require('gulp');
gulp.task('default', function() {
  console.log('Gulp task running');
});

Processing Files

Defines a Gulp task named 'minify-js' that minifies JavaScript files from the 'src' directory and outputs them to the 'dist' directory.

const gulp = require('gulp');
const uglify = require('gulp-uglify');
gulp.task('minify-js', function() {
  return gulp.src('src/*.js')
    .pipe(uglify())
    .pipe(gulp.dest('dist'));
});

Watching Files

Defines a Gulp task named 'watch' that monitors JavaScript files in the 'src' directory and runs the 'minify-js' task whenever a file changes.

const gulp = require('gulp');
gulp.task('watch', function() {
  gulp.watch('src/*.js', gulp.series('minify-js'));
});

Other packages similar to @types/gulp

@types/grunt

@types/grunt provides TypeScript type definitions for the Grunt task runner. Grunt is another popular task runner similar to Gulp, but it uses a configuration-based approach rather than a code-based approach.

@types/webpack

@types/webpack provides TypeScript type definitions for Webpack, a module bundler. While Webpack is primarily used for bundling JavaScript modules, it can also perform many of the same tasks as Gulp, such as file transformations and optimizations.
