This gulp plugin manages dependencies between files and sorts the files due to their dependencies.
npm install --save-dev gulp-depend
var gulp = require('gulp'),
depend = require('gulp-depend'),
depend = require('gulp-concat');
gulp.task('example', function () {
return gulp.src('./js/**/*.js')
.pipe(depend())
.pipe(concat('somefile.js'))
.pipe(gulp.dest('./dest'));
});
All source files containing the //= require filename will be topologically sorted and handed over to the next stream (in this case gulp-concat).
Assuming you have these files:
a.js
b.js -> //= require a.js c.js -> //= require.a.js
The plugin will pass the input streams in the order a.js b.js c.js to the next stream. No file will be included twice. It also detects unexisting files and circular dependencies.
The require works through different directories. Make sure you do not have duplicate names.
