ouanalyse-gulp-main-npm-files

Installation

To install this module, you need to run the following command

$ npm install gulp-main-npm-files

Usage

var mainNpmFiles = require('gulp-main-npm-files');
var files = mainNpmFiles([[filter, ]options][, callback]);

This will read your package.json, iterate through your dependencies and returns an array of files defined in the main property of the packages package.json.

Usage with gulp

var gulp = require('gulp');
var mainNpmFiles = require('gulp-main-npm-files');

gulp.task('TASKNAME', function() {
    return gulp.src(mainNpmFiles())
        .pipe(/* what you want to do with the files */)
});

Options

The module accepts the following options:

• override: object consisting of properties corresponding to npm module names whic package.json file we want to modify. Accepts a partial package.json which will merge with original package.json file

var gmnf = require('gulp-main-npm-files');

gulp.task('vendor-js', function() {
    gulp.src(gmnf({
        override: {
            'bootstrap': {
                'main' : 'dist/js/bootstrap.js'
            }
        }
    }), {base:'./'})
        .pipe(flatten())
        .pipe(gulp.dest('./web/js/libs-gen'));
})

• nodeModulesPath: path to your node_modules. By default, it is ./node_modules that means this directory is at your project's root.

var mainNpmFiles = require('gulp-main-npm-files');

// Copy dependencies from ./node_modules to build/node_modules/
gulp.task('copyNpmDependencies', function() {
  gulp.src(mainNpmFiles(), { base:'./' })
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./build'));
});

var mainNpmFiles = require('gulp-main-npm-files');

// Copy dependencies from ./path/node_modules to build/node_modules/
gulp.task('copyNpmDependencies', function() {
  gulp.src(mainNpmFiles({ nodeModulesPath: "./path/node_modules" }), { base:'./' })
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./build'));
});

• packageJsonPath: path to you package.json file. By default, it is ./package.json that means this file is at your project's root with the default name.

var mainNpmFiles = require('gulp-main-npm-files');

// Copy dependencies present in ./package.jon to build/node_modules/
gulp.task('copyNpmDependencies', function() {
  gulp.src(mainNpmFiles(), { base:'./' })
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./build'));
});

var mainNpmFiles = require('gulp-main-npm-files');

// Copy dependencies present in ./path/package.json to build/node_modules/
gulp.task('copyNpmDependencies', function() {
  gulp.src(mainNpmFiles({ packageJsonPath: "path/package.json" }), { base:'./' })
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./build'));
});

• devDependencies: true if you want to take account the dev dependencies, false otherwise. The default value is false.

var mainNpmFiles = require('gulp-main-npm-files');

// Copy dependencies to build/node_modules/
gulp.task('copyNpmDependencies', function() {
  gulp.src(mainNpmFiles(), { base:'./' })
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./build'));
});

var mainNpmFiles = require('gulp-main-npm-files');

// Copy dev dependencies and dependencies to build/node_modules/
gulp.task('copyNpmDependencies', function() {
  gulp.src(mainNpmFiles({ devDependencies: true }), { base:'./' })
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./build'));
});
