gulp-thrift v0.0.2

Gulp Thrift

Streamifies Apache Thrift file generation for Gulp.

Note that this library just calls Thrift directly and places all compiled files in a temporary folder, then reads the files in that folder back into the stream. Unfortunately, Thrift doesn't have an option to spit things into STDOUT.

This is still a work in progress, don't use it yet

Installation

You'll need to install Apache Thrift separately and have it available on your system. Installation instructions for OSX can be found here.

Once you have it installed, make sure it is in your $PATH. Alternatively you may also point to the Thrift executable using the thriftPath option.

Then, install gulp-thrift using npm:

npm install gulp-thrift

gulp.src('./flubird/*.thrift')
.pipe(thrift())
.pipe(gulp.dest('./lib'))
