gulp-include

#gulp-include

Makes inclusion of files a breeze.
Enables functionality similar to that of snockets / sprockets or other file insertion compilation tools.

Made for gulp 3

By wiledal with help from juanghurtado

Usage

First, install gulp-include as a dev dependency: npm install --save-dev gulp-include

Then, add your include-comments to your file.
People who have experience with sprockets or snockets will feel at home.

An include-comment looks like this:

//= include relative/path/to/file.js

or

#= require_tree relative/path/to/folder

or even

/*
= include relative/path/to/file.js
= require relative/path/to/file2.js
= include_tree relative/path/to/folder
*/

gulp-include does not care about whitespace, as long as the comment-line starts with a newline followed = and contains include, require or include_tree, require_tree.

The example below compiles a several coffee-files and js-files into a single js-file:

app.coffee:

`
//= require vendor/jquery.js
//= require vendor/modernizr.js
`

#= require controllers/AppController.coffee
#= require_tree views

class Main extends AppController
	constructor: ->
		console.log "This is main!"

window.main = new Main()

Note: The example above uses backsticks (`) to allow gulp-coffee to compile inline javascript

gulpfile.js:

var gulp		= require('gulp'),
	include		= require('gulp-include'),
	coffee		= require('gulp-coffee');

gulp.task("scripts", function() {
	gulp.src('src/js/app.coffee')
		.pipe( include() )
		.pipe( coffee() )
		.pipe( gulp.dest("dist/js") )
});

gulp.task("default", "scripts");
