What is gulp?

Gulp is a toolkit that helps developers automate and enhance workflows. It is a streaming build system that allows the use of Node streams to read files from the filesystem, transform them, and output them back to the filesystem or elsewhere. Gulp is commonly used for tasks such as minification, concatenation, cache busting, unit testing, linting, and optimization.

What are gulp's main functionalities?

Task Automation

Automate repetitive tasks with custom defined tasks.

const gulp = require('gulp');
gulp.task('default', function() {
  // Your task code here
});

File Minification

Minify JavaScript files to reduce their size for production.

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'));
});

File Concatenation

Concatenate multiple files into a single file.

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

Sass Compilation

Compile Sass files into CSS.

const gulp = require('gulp');
const sass = require('gulp-sass');
gulp.task('sass', function() {
  return gulp.src('src/*.scss')
    .pipe(sass().on('error', sass.logError))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('dist/css'));
});

Live Reloading

Automatically reload the browser when files are modified.

const gulp = require('gulp');
const browserSync = require('browser-sync').create();
gulp.task('serve', function() {
  browserSync.init({
    server: './dist'
  });
  gulp.watch('src/*.html').on('change', browserSync.reload);
});
