generator-gulpfile-advanced

generator-gulpfile-advanced

A generator powered by Yeoman which gives a user the abilitiy to create all Gulp tasks they need to build, run or develop one's application.

Prerequisites

$ npm install -g yo generator-gulpfile-advanced

Usage

• Go to the root path of your project
• To launch global generator:

$ yo gulpfile-advanced

• Then select the tasks you want in your application
• To launch sub-generator in order to add new tasks (after launching the global generator):

$ yo gulpfile-advanced:taskName

• And now you can launch your task with gulp:

$ gulp taskName

• Or launch in watch mode:

$ gulp taskName:watch

• With the "custom" sub-generator you have the ability to make a custom task with existant tasks in your gulpfiles
• For example if I want to create a task named "dev" which can transpile less, create a webserver and minify html:

$ yo gulpfile:custom
What would you call your custom task?
> dev
Which tasks do you want in your custom task ?
> less:watch, webserver:watch, minify-html:watch

Sub-generators

• gulpfile-advanced:webserver
• gulpfile-advanced:babel
• gulpfile-advanced:eslint
• gulpfile-advanced:jshint
• gulpfile-advanced:less
• gulpfile-advanced:sass
• gulpfile-advanced:minify-html
• gulpfile-advanced:uglify
• gulpfile-advanced:ng-annotate
• gulpfile-advanced:ng-constant
• gulpfile-advanced:mocha
• And so much more if you contribute and create your own sub-generator

Development installation

$ git clone https://github.com/bnjjj/generator-gulpfile-advanced.git
$ cd generator-gulpfile-advanced
$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update
$ npm link

Contributing

• The long goal of this generator is for it to be used with other sub-generators - ones I haven't developed too. Each sub-generator is isolated in its own git repository so that everyone can request pulls or file more precise issues.

• Furthermore you can develop your own sub-generator; after you have tested don't hesitate to request a pull so that I can integrate it as a sub-module in the main generator. This way you will still be the sole owner of your work and are free to edit it as you please.

• Here are the pre-requisites for your pull requests to be accepted:

  • Have your files well documented
  • Have automated tests
  • Keep the same structure so as to keep everything unified

• The structure of the sub-generators has to be as follows:

  • One file per task
  • Task files have to be located in the "templates" directory et bear the same name as the task
  • An "index.js" file at the root of your sub-generator will allow for configuration

• If you're interested in developing:

  • Clone the project and integrate your own generator in the "generators" directory
  • When you're done with development, integrate as a Git sub-module
