Usage

var files = require('base-files-each');

Example

var expand = require('expand-files');
var Base = require('base');
var pipeline = require('base-pipeline');
var each = require('base-files-each');
var vfs = require('base-fs');
var app = new Base();

app.use(pipeline());
app.use(each());
app.use(vfs());

// register pipeline plugins using the `.plugin` method
app.plugin('foo', function(options) {
  return through.obj(function(file, enc, next) {
    // do plugin stuff 
    next(null, file);
  });
});

// use `expand-files` to expand a declarative configuration object
config = expand({
  cwd: fixtures,
  src: '*.txt',
  dest: actual
});

// pass the config object to `.each()`
app.each(config)
  .on('end', function() {

API

.each

Iterate over an array of files objects in a declarative configuration, optionally run them through a plugin pipline, then write the files to the file system.

Params

• config {Object}
• cb {Function}: Optional callback function. If callback is not passed, .eachStream is called and a stream is returned.

Example

var expand = require('expand-files');
var config = expand.config({src: '*', dest: 'foo/'});
generate.each({files: [config]}, function(err) {
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log('done!');
});

// or
generate.each({files: [config]})
  .on('end', function() {
    console.log('done!');
  });

.eachSeries

Generate files configurations in series.

Params

• config {Object}
• cb {Function}

Example

var expand = require('expand-files');
var config = expand.config({src: '*', dest: 'foo/'});
generate.eachSeries({files: [config]}, function(err) {
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log('done!');
});

.eachStream

Generate files configurations in parallel.

Params

• config {Object}
• returns {Stream}: returns stream with all process files

Example

var expand = require('expand-files');
var config = expand.config({src: '*', dest: 'foo/'});
generate.eachStream({files: [config]}, options)
  .on('error', console.error)
  .on('end', function() {
    console.log('done!');
  });
