Usage

Default usage

var append = require('gulp-append');

gulp.task('default', function () {
	return gulp.src('src/file.json')
		.pipe(append());
});

Using a custom destination

var gulp = require('gulp');
var append = require('gulp-append');

gulp.task('default', function () {
	return gulp.src('src/file.json')
		.pipe(append({destination: 'some/path/appended-file.json'}));
});

Using tranform

var gulp = require('gulp');
var append = require('gulp-append');
var nameFromPath = require('name-from-path');

gulp.task('append:transform', () => {
  return gulp.src(
    'README.md'
  ).pipe(append({
      transform: {
        path: function(file) {
          return String(file.path)
        },
        name: function(file) {
          return nameFromPath(file, true);
        }
      }
    }
  ));
});

Wrapping it all together

var gulp = require('gulp');
var append = require('gulp-append');
var nameFromPath = require('name-from-path');

gulp.task('append:transform', () => {
  return gulp.src(
    'README.md'
  ).pipe(append({
    transform: {
      path: function(file) {
        return String(file.path)
      },
      name: function(file) {
