Consider the following two files:
config.json
{
"vendorFiles": [
"vendor/angular/angular.js",
"vendor/angular-ui-router/release/angular-ui-router.js",
"vendor/angular-ui-utils/modules/utils.js"
]
}
gulpfile.js
var gulp = require("gulp"),
concat = require("gulp-concat"),
config = require("./config");
gulp.task("build-vendor", function() {
gulp.src(config.vendorFiles)
.pipe(concat("vendor.js"))
.pipe(gulp.dest("build"));
});
How can I eliminate the need to specify vendor/
for each file in config.json? That file is one that is manually edited by other developers by hand, so I want to make it as hassle-free on them as possible.
Ideally I'd like my gulpfile.js to take care of adding that prefix (somehow), and for my config.json to look like this:
{
"vendorFiles": [
"angular/angular.js",
"angular-ui-router/release/angular-ui-router.js",
"angular-ui-utils/modules/utils.js"
]
}
There may be a better way with a Gulp specific solution, but this should work.
var gulp = require("gulp"),
concat = require("gulp-concat"),
config = require("./config");
gulp.task("build-vendor", function() {
gulp.src(config.vendorFiles.map(function(a) {return 'vendor/' + a}))
.pipe(concat("vendor.js"))
.pipe(gulp.dest("build"));
});
