Gulp-replace-image-src NPM

gulp-replace-image-src

Replace the \"src\" attribute of \<img> tags with specific path in HTML files.

It is very easy to replace original "src" with a CDN "src".

Installation

Install package with NPM and add it to your development dependencies:

npm install --save-dev gulp-replace-image-src

Usage

var rep = require('gulp-replace-image-src');
var gulp = require('gulp');

gulp.task('replace', function() {
  gulp.src('*.html')
    .pipe(rep({
      prependSrc : '//github.cdn.com/images/',
      keepOrigin : false
    }))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('dist'));
});

The original HTML is like:

<body>
  <div class="icon1"><img src="/public/icon4.png" /></div>
  <div class="icon1_1"><img src="../icon4-1.png" /></div>
</body>

After replaced, it should be like:

<body>
  <div class="icon1"><img src="//github.cdn.com/images/icon4.png" /></div>
  <div class="icon1_1"><img src="//github.cdn.com/images/icon4-1.png" /></div>
</body>

The plugin only keeps the original file name in the new path.

If you want to keep origin "src", then you can make keepOrigin true.

var rep = require('gulp-replace-image-src');
var gulp = require('gulp');

gulp.task('replace', function() {
  gulp.src('*.html')
    .pipe(rep({
      prependSrc : '//github.cdn.com/images',
      keepOrigin : true
    }))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('dist'));
});

Then you will see the below HTML:

<body>
  <div class="icon1"><img src="//github.cdn.com/images/public/icon4.png" /></div>
  <div class="icon1_1"><img src="//github.cdn.com/images/../icon4-1.png" /></div>
</body>

If the "src" starts with "http:|ftp:|https:|//", then it will NOT be replaced.
