gulp-subtask-loader v1.0.3

Hullo from gulp-subtask-loader!

How to install:

npm i --save-dev gulp-subtask-loader

Basics

In its simplest form, gulp-subtask loader can be passed a directory and a gulp singleton and it will find all files matching '**/*.tasks.*' - that is, any filename with any extension, so long as its "secondary" extension is 'tasks'.

You can pass optional additional arguments that will be passed on to all subtask functions, such as a plugin object from gulp-load-plugins.

How to use:

// tasks/subtasksAAndB.tasks.js

module.exports = function (gulp) {
  gulp.task('subtaskA', function () {
    // do things... A
  })

  gulp.task('subtaskB', function () {
    // do things... B
  })
}

//gulpfile.js

var gulp = require('gulp')

require('gulp-subtask-loader')('tasks', gulp) // by default looks for tasks/**/*.tasks.*
// OR path can be a glob (not actually sure if this will work with coffee files, tbh)
require('gulp-subtask-loader')('tasks/**/*.coffee')

gulp.task('default', [ 'subtaskA', 'subtaskB' ])

API

subtaskLoader(dir, gulp[, optionalArgs...])

If dir is a directory, look in dir for files matching '**/*.tasks.*'. If it is a glob, get the files it matches. Then require those files, calling them with the equivalent of require(f).apply(null, [gulp, optionalArg1, ...])
