gulp-minify without rename original files

It is possible minify js files without add -min suffix?

I want keep original name.

gulp.task("js-external-release", function() {
    gulp.src(config.vendorJs)
        .pipe(minify())
        .pipe(gulp.dest(config.dist + "/scripts"));
});
Solution

  • Use gulp-uglify instead - it doesn't rename files, which is the default behavior for most gulp plugins.

    var gulp = require('gulp');
var uglify = require('gulp-uglify');

gulp.task("js-external-release", function() {
    gulp.src(config.vendorJs)
        .pipe(uglify())
        .pipe(gulp.dest(config.dist + "/scripts"));
});

    Alternatively, you could use gulp-rename, but switching to uglify will eliminate the need for such a plugin and is less complex than adding a new plugin in my opinion.
