I'm using the Gulp to build my SCSS, Pug and ES6 assets for my static website. I know it's possible to hash file names and output the files in a different directory.
For my specific example:
~/src/pages
directory and getting built to the ~/public/
directory. ~/src/stylesheets
directory. These are getting built to the and getting ~/public/style
directoryMy problem is, when I'm referring to my stylesheets files from Pug, I have to refer to the already-built folder like this:
link(rel='stylesheet', href='./style/example.css')
For my IDE, this doesn't make sense, because the style
directory doesn't exist in the ~/src/pages
directory.
What I would find the most useful is that I can refer to my stylesheets like the example below:
link(rel='stylesheet', href='../stylesheets/example.scss')
Is there any way this is possible or am I completely going in the wrong direction? If not, where am I looking for?
Solution to make the file name like hash
Sample code :
gulpfile.js
gulp.task("revision:rename", ["serve"], () =>
gulp.src(["dist/**/*.html",
"dist/**/*.css",
"dist/**/*.js",
"dist/**/*.{jpg,png,jpeg,gif,svg}"])
.pipe(rev())
.pipe(revdel())
.pipe(gulp.dest("dist"))
.pipe(rev.manifest({ path: "manifest.json" }))
.pipe(gulp.dest("dist"))
);
manifest.json
{
style.css: style-ds9udjvci.css,
main.js: main-dijds9xc9.min.js
}
For creating our revision update in the file like
Rewrite every reference for every key of manifest.json to it’s respective value inside every html/json/css/js file (i.e: <link href="style.css"> would become <link href="style-ds9udjvci.css">)
gulp.task("revision:updateReferences", ["serve", "revision:rename"], () =>
gulp.src(["dist/manifest.json","dist/**/*.{html,json,css,js}"])
.pipe(collect())
.pipe(gulp.dest("dist"))
);
