gulp-cache-release v0.0.1

Information

Installation

yarn add gulp-cache-release --dev

or

npm install --save-dev gulp-cache-release

Usage

This keeps an in-memory cache of files (and their contents) that have passed through it. If a file has already passed through on the last run it will only be passed downstream if/when release is called. This means you only process what you need and save time + resources. If release is not called, it will work exactly like gulp-cached

Take this example:

const gulp = require('gulp');
const { cache, release } = require('gulp-cached');
const uglify = require('gulp-uglify')
const concat = require('gulp-concat')

gulp.task('bundle', () => {
    return gulp.src('src/*')
        .pipe(cache('src'))
        .pipe(uglify())
        .pipe(release('src'))
        .pipe(concat('bundle.js'))
        .pipe(gulp.dest('dist'))
})

gulp.task('watch' ,() => {
    return gulp.watch('src/*', ['bundle'])
})

gulp.task('default', ['watch', 'bundle'])

• User saves files/a.js and the bundle task is called
  • bundle task has never been called before
  • all files in src are uglified and concatenated
• User saves src/b.js and the bundle task is called
  • the contents of the file changed from the previous value
  • files/b.js is uglified, but all files are concatenated
• User saves files/a.js and the bundle task is called
  • the contents of the file have not changed from the previous value
  • nothing is bundled

cache(cacheName, opt)

Please read the instructions here gulp-cached

release(cacheName)

Releases all cached files at that point downstream on second run. On first run it caches all files and passes it downstream.
