gulp-import-tasks

gulp-import-tasks

Imports gulp tasks from a local directory, rather than from your gulpfile.

Based on gulp-load-tasks, but better (and actively maintained)!

---

Install

$ npm install gulp-import-tasks

Note: gulp is a required peer dependency.

Usage

Quick Start

Simply require the package within your gulpfile.js. By default, this will load all gulp tasks that exist within a local tasks directory.

// gulpfile.js

require('gulp-import-tasks')();

// tasks/default.js

module.exports = [
  'clean'
];

// tasks/clean.js

const clean = require('gulp-clean');

module.exports = function (gulp) {
  gulp.clean('dist', { read: false })
    .pipe(clean());
};

Custom Directory

You can customize the tasks directory by passing in the name of your custom directory as the first parameter. The following will check for tasks within the gulp/tasks directory.

// gulpfile.js

require('gulp-import-tasks')('gulp/tasks');

Or, you can define it by passing in an options object instead. See advanced usage.

// gulpfile.js

require('gulp-import-tasks')({
  dir: 'gulp/tasks'
});

Advanced

Using the options parameter, you may specify permisible file extensions, as well as any additional function parameters.

Options

Option	Type	Default
dir	string	tasks
extensions	Array.<string>	['.js']
params	Array.<any>	[]

Usage

// gulpfile.js

const config = {
  build: 'dist'
};

require('gulp-import-tasks')({
  dir: 'gulp/tasks',
  extensions: ['.js'],
  params: [
    config
  ]
});

// tasks/clean.js

const clean = require('gulp-clean');

module.exports = function (gulp, config) {
  gulp.clean(config.build, { read: false })
    .pipe(clean());
};
