Scenario I need to grab all *.js files in a folder, combine and uglify them. This is what I achieve with:
gulp.task('default', function(){
return gulp.src('resources_folder/*.js')
.pipe(plumber({
errorHandler: function (error) {
console.log(error.message);
this.emit('end');
}}))
.pipe(concat('output.js'))
.pipe(babel())
.pipe(rename({suffix: '.min'}))
.pipe(uglify())
.pipe(gulp.dest('js/'))
});
But I'm struggling with two things:
AFTER the uglify I would like to concat the result with an other (already minified file). I don't wish to uglify this file again - I want it just to combine with the result.
How do I concat the results with a "new line" or a comment please?
What I want to achieve: I have my source fiels in "res" and Im using an external small library (minifeid already) which I would like to include into my output file.
Something like:
You will need two plugins:
var footer = require('gulp-footer');
var addsrc = require('gulp-add-src');
So after your uglify pipe put something like:
.pipe(uglify())
.pipe(footer('\n// my comment\n'))
.pipe(addsrc.append('your resource library to append'))
.pipe(concat('new file name here'))
.pipe(gulp.dest('js'))
Look at the gulp-footer documentation to see different ways to build up the comment you wish to insert. You can, for example, read it from a file or variable.
