API

`videos(options[, extendsDefaults])`

Return: Function

`options`

Type: Object Default:

{
  base: undefined,
  dest: undefined,
  src: undefined,
  watch: {
    files: {Emitted files}
    tasks: {Current task name}
  }
}

Options that define the behavior of this task. This object is parsed by config() in gulp-task-helpers, so you can target specific NODE_ENV environments.

`options.base`

Type: string Default: undefined

If specified, this is the base path for the source files to emit into the stream. Patterns defined in options.src will be prefixed by this path.

`options.src`

Type: string or string[] Default: undefined

Glob pattern(s), relative to options.base if specified, that specifies what files to emit into the Gulp stream. These patterns are automatically appended with a wildcard glob of affected file extensions unless custom extensions are specified in the patterns.

`options.dest`

Type: string Default: undefined

Path of destination directory to write files to.

`options.watch`

Type: Object or boolean

Options that define the file watching behavior. If set to false, watching will be disabled regardless of the --watch flag.

`options.watch.files`

Type: string or string[] Default: Emitted source files

Glob pattern(s) that matches the files to be watched. Defaults to the emitted source file patterns computed from options.base and options.src.

`options.watch.tasks`

Type: string, Function or Array Default: Current task name

Task(s) or methods to invoke whenever watched files have changed. This array is applied to run-sequence. Defaults to the current task name.

`extendsDefaults`

Type: boolean Default: true

Maps to useConcat param in config() of gulp-task-helpers.

Watching for Changes

You can pass a --watch or --w flag to the Gulp command to enable file watching, like so:

$ gulp videos --watch

By default, files that were emitted as source files will be marked for watching and the task name assigned to this module will be executed whenever a file changes. To override this behavior see options.watch.
