I am using browserify to listen to compile multiple files into multiple targets, like so (using this trick):
gulp.task('js', function () {
var bundler = through2.obj(function (file, enc, next) {
browserify(file.path).bundle(function(err, res) {
file.contents = res;
next(null, file);
});
});
return gulp.src(['foo.js', 'bar.js'])
.pipe(bundler)
.pipe(uglify())
// Other pipes
.pipe(gulp.dest('./compiled'));
});
How can I combine this through2 usage with watchify? The common advice about using vinyl-source-stream does not work for me. I want to generate two files (compiled/foo.js and compiled/bar.js). I don't want to combine the files into one.
I figured out how to combine through2 and watchify. The trick is to not call next()
on updates:
var bundler = through.obj(function (file, enc, next) {
var b = watchify(browserify(file.path))
b.on('update', function () {
gutil.log('Updated', gutil.colors.magenta(file.path));
b.bundle(function (err, res) {
file.contents = res;
// Do not call next!
});
b.on('log', gutil.log);
}
b.bundle(function (err, res) {
file.contents = res;
next(null, file);
});
});
