stimulant-gulpfile v1.3.6

stimulant-gulpfile

The powerful gulpfile used by stimulant, now available as a standalone NPM package that you can utilize for your own purposes.

Installation

Install the package with NPM:

$ npm install stimulant-gulpfile --save-dev

Usage

Inside your gulpfile.js, import the package:

require("stimulant-gulpfile");

Or alternatively, create a symlink:

$ ln -s node_modules/stimulant-gulpfile/dist/index.js gulpfile.js

This will automatically enable the following runnable gulp tasks:

• watch — spawn a daemon that performs automatic rebuilds whenever files change.
• build — build everything.
• build-index — build main index.html file.
• build-scripts — build script files.
• build-styles — build stylesheet files.
• build-images — build image files.
• build-fonts — build font files.
• build-audio — build audio files.
• build-videos — build video files.
• build-misc — build miscellaneous files.
• check-dependencies — confirm that all NPM dependencies are installed.
• clean — destroy the most recent build.

In other words, it effectively turns your gulpfile into a simple (and powerful) one-liner — no further configuration required!

Environment Injection

Any code in scripts that matches the #env{SOME_ENV} pattern is a candidate for environment injection. The injection process takes place during the build-scripts task and effectively replaces the entire contents of the pattern with the value of process.env.SOME_ENV if not undefined.

Other

Specifying the environment variable GULP_PORT will enable you to run on a custom port number.
