gulp-require-order

Streaming dependency ordering middleware for gulp.

Created to provide a way to concat files by their dependencies without runtime overhead.

Usage

gulpfile.js

Takes source files and concats them based on each module's dependencies.

var requireOrder = require('gulp-require-order');

var gulp = require('gulp'),
	concat = require('gulp-concat');

gulp.task('concat', function () {
	gulp.src(['./src/**/*.js'])
		.pipe(requireOrder())
		.pipe(concat('./dist/some-module.js'));
});

Source Files

a.js

// require './b'

var A = function () { /* ... */ };

b.js

// require './b'
