gulp-aspnet-k v0.0.5

gulp-aspnet-k

Gulp plugin for ASP.NET 5. You can use this plugin to integrate ASP.NET 5 dnu build, dnu restore and dnx command execution (for the commands available inside you project.json file). Check out the example inside the repository.

Installation

You can install gulp-aspnet-k plugin through npm:

npm install gulp-aspnet-k

Preferably, you can save this as dev dependency:

npm install gulp-aspnet-k --save-dev

Usage

var gulp = require('gulp'),
    aspnetk = require("gulp-aspnet-k");
gulp.task('default', function(cb) {
    return gulp.start('aspnet-run');
});
gulp.task('aspnet-run', aspnetk());

The default function restores the packages according to your project.json file and runs the web command inside the project.json file. You can pass a few options to this to choose what's actually going to run:

// the default options
var options = {
    restore: true,
    build: false,
    run: true,
    kCommand: 'web',
    cwd: './'
};
gulp.task('aspnet-run', aspnetk(options));

There are also shorthand methods for specific tasks:

gulp.task('aspnet-run', aspnetk(options));
// only restores the packages
gulp.task('aspnet-restore', aspnetk.restore());
// only builds the project
gulp.task('aspnet-build', aspnetk.build());
// restores the packages and builds the project
gulp.task('aspnet-restore-build', aspnetk.restoreBuild());

gulp-aspnet-k also integrates with k --watch to run your commands. So, it will restart your server when you change a code file.

###cwd You can change the working directory for the specific command to run passing cwd as an option to the main method or as parameter to the shorthand methods.

//assuming project.json is inside the 'server' directory
var options = {
    kCommand: 'web',
    cwd: './server/'
};
gulp.task('aspnet-run', aspnetk(options));

//using the shorthand methods
gulp.task('aspnet-restore', aspnetk.restore('./server/'));
gulp.task('aspnet-build', aspnetk.build('./server/'));
gulp.task('aspnet-restore-build', aspnetk.restoreBuild('./server/'));
