var concatFilenames = require('gulp-concat-filenames');
var concatFilenamesOptions = {
};
function fileManifest(){
gulp
.src('./lib/**/*.*')
.pipe(concatFilenames('manifest.txt', concatFilenamesOptions))
.pipe(gulp.dest('./output/'));
}
gulp.task('file-manifest', fileManifest);###Arguments
Gulp concat-filenames takes 2 arguments: filename and options
####Filename Required
This first argument is the name of the output file the list of filenames will be put into.
#####Options Optional
The second argument is optional (pun intended), and is an object with the following properties:
newline- The character to use in place of\nfor a newline. The default value will be\nprepend- Some text to prepend to every entry in the list of filenamesappend- Some text to append to every intry in the list of filenamestemplate- a function that takes one parameter (the file name) and returns the string after some formatting. Can be used in addition to, or instead of,appendandprependroot- the root folder. Including this argument will return a list of relative paths instead of absolute paths.
###Examples
Given the file structure:
.
+-- somefile.txt
+-- lib
| +-- one.txt
| +-- two.txt
+-- gulpfile.jsvar concatFilenames = require('gulp-concat-filenames');
var concatFilenamesOptions = {
root: '/lib',
prepend: '==> ',
append: ' <=='
};
function fileManifest(){
gulp
.src('./lib/**/*.*')
.pipe(concatFilenames('manifest.txt', concatFilenamesOptions))
.pipe(gulp.dest('./output/'));
}
gulp.task('file-manifest', fileManifest);running gulp file-manifest now produces a file called manifest.txt with the contents
==> one.txt <==
==> two.txt <==Or you can use the template property, to format the output as well.
function fileNameFormatter(filename) {
return 'XXX--' + filename.toUpperCase() + '--YYY';
}
var concatFilenames = require('gulp-concat-filenames');
var concatFilenamesOptions = {
root: '/lib',
template: fileNameFormatter // Pass in a function
};
function fileManifest(){
gulp
.src('./lib/**/*.*')
.pipe(concatFilenames('manifest.txt', concatFilenamesOptions))
.pipe(gulp.dest('./output/'));
}
gulp.task('file-manifest', fileManifest);running gulp file-manifest now produces a file called manifest.txt with the contents
XXX--ONE.TXT--YYY
XXX--TWO.TXT--YYY###Contribution If you write tests, follow semver and have something to add, I love accepting pull requests!! Any questions? Make an issue on github! <3
