    });
});

gulp.task( 'default', [ 'server:start' ], function() {

####use as a stream:

var gulp   = require( 'gulp' ),
    GulpServer = require( 'gulp-develop-server-reuse' ),
    bs     = require( 'browser-sync' ),
    coffee = require( 'gulp-coffee' );
var server = new GulpServer();
var options = {
    server: {
        path: './apps/app.js',
        execArgv: [ '--harmony' ]
    },
    bs: {
        proxy: 'http://localhost:3000'
    }
};

var serverCoffee = [
    './src/*.coffee'
];

gulp.task( 'server:start', function() {
    server.listen( options.server, function( error ) {
        if( ! error ) bs( options.bs );
    });
});

// If server side's coffee files change, compile these files,
// restart the server and then browser-reload.
gulp.task( 'server:restart', function() {
    gulp.src( serverCoffee )
        .pipe( coffee() )
        .pipe( gulp.dest( './apps' ) )
        .pipe( server.stream() )
        .pipe( bs.reload({ stream: true }) );
});

gulp.task( 'default', [ 'server:start' ], function() {
    gulp.watch( serverCoffee, [ 'server:restart' ] );
});
