@push.rocks/smartgulp

lightweight gulp replacement

Install

To install @push.rocks/smartgulp, use the following command in your terminal:

npm install @push.rocks/smartgulp --save-dev

This will add smartgulp to your project's devDependencies. smartgulp is designed to be a lightweight replacement for gulp, thus assuming its role in development processes rather than in production environments.

Usage

In this section, we'll dive into how to effectively utilize @push.rocks/smartgulp within your project. smartgulp aims to present a simplified interface for handling file streams and processing, similar to traditional gulp but with a modernized API and reduced complexity.

Basic Stream Creation and File Manipulation

First, let's demonstrate how to create a stream from source files and then manipulate these files, ultimately saving the transformed files to a desired directory.

// Import smartgulp methods
import { src, dest } from '@push.rocks/smartgulp';

// Create a stream from source files using the `src` function
src(['src/**/*.ts']) // Specify the glob pattern
  .pipe(
    // Example transformation: Convert TypeScript to JavaScript
    // Use your desired transformer here
    ts() // Assuming `ts()` is a function returning a Transform stream
  )
  .pipe(
    // Save the transformed files to the 'dist' directory
    dest('dist')
  );

In the example above, src(['src/**/*.ts']) creates a stream that reads all TypeScript files in the src directory. Each file is then transformed (for instance, compiled from TypeScript to JavaScript, though the actual transformation function ts() is illustrative) and finally written to the dist directory via dest('dist').

Advanced Usage: Custom Transformations

smartgulp can be extended with custom transformations, allowing you to perform virtually any file manipulation task. Heres how you can create and use custom transform streams:

import { src, dest } from '@push.rocks/smartgulp';
import { Transform } from 'stream';

// Creating a custom transform to prefix file contents
const prefixTransform = new Transform({
  objectMode: true,
  transform(file, encoding, callback) {
    const prefix = '/* Prefixed content */\n';
    file.contents = Buffer.from(prefix + file.contents.toString());
    callback(null, file); // Pass the modified file along the stream
  }
});

// Usage in a pipeline
src(['src/**/*.js']) // Adjust glob pattern as needed
  .pipe(prefixTransform) // Apply custom prefixing
  .pipe(dest('dist')); // Output to 'dist' directory

In this scenario, prefixTransform is a custom transformation that prepends a comment to the contents of each .js file fetched through src(['src/**/*.js']). After transformation, the files are written to the dist directory.

Combining with Other Libraries

@push.rocks/smartgulp can be seamlessly integrated with other libraries, making it easy to enhance your build pipeline with additional functionality like linting, minification, and more.

import { src, dest } from '@push.rocks/smartgulp';
import someOtherLib from 'some-other-lib';

src(['src/**/*.css']) // Example with CSS files
  .pipe(
    // Assuming `someOtherLib` provides a method for CSS minification
    someOtherLib.minifyCSS()
  )
  .pipe(dest('dist'));

Conclusion

@push.rocks/smartgulp offers a simplified, promise-based approach to stream processing and file manipulation. By leveraging its functionality along with custom and third-party transforms, you can create powerful and efficient build pipelines tailored to your project's needs. Whether you're compiling, bundling, minifying, or simply copying files, smartgulp provides a lightweight, flexible foundation for your automated workflows.
