gulp-chug

A gulp plugin for running external gulpfiles as part of a gulp task inside another gulpfile.

gulp-chug is non-modifying, i.e., gulp-chug will return the same stream it receives. See Use with other plugins for an example.

Requires node >= 0.10

Inspired by shama's grunt-hub.

Note: This plugin has been blacklisted, however I have yet to find an example of a pattern that allows for the execution of child gulpfiles without task name collisions. If you have an example, let me know!

Install

Install with npm:

npm install gulp-chug

Usage

Run external gulpfiles

Run one external gulpfile:

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

gulp.task( 'default', function () {
    gulp.src( './subproj/gulpfile.js' )
        .pipe( chug() )
} );

Run multiple external gulpfiles:

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

gulp.task( 'default', function () {

    // Find and run all gulpfiles under all subdirectories
    gulp.src( './**/gulpfile.js' )
        .pipe( chug() )
} );

Use with other plugins

grunt-chug will not modify streams passed to it, but will happily accept streams modified by other plugins:

var gulp = require( 'gulp' );
var chug = require( 'gulp-chug' );
var replace = require( 'gulp-replace' );

gulp.task( 'default', function () {
    gulp.src( './subproj/gulpfile.js' )

        // Transform stream with gulp-replace
        .pipe( replace( 'Hello', 'Goodbye' ) )

        // Run modified stream with gulp-chug
        .pipe( chug() )
} );

Make gulp-chug faster by ignoring file contents

If gulp-chug is the only plugin in the stream, there's no need to actually read the contents of the gulpfiles. Set { read: false } in gulp.src to speed things up:

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

gulp.task( 'default', function () {
    gulp.src( './subproj/gulpfile.js', { read: false } )
        .pipe( chug() )
} );

Options

Gulp chug supports several options, all of which are optional, e.g.,

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

gulp.task( 'default', function () {
    gulp.src( './subproj/gulpfile.js' )
        .pipe( chug( {
            nodeCmd: 'node',
            tasks:  [ 'default' ],
            args:   [ '--my-arg-1', '--my-arg-2' ]
        } ) );
} );

tasks

The tasks to run from each gulpfile. Default is default.

chug( {
    tasks: [ 'my-task-1', 'my-task-2' ]
} )

nodeCmd

The node command to spawn when running gulpfiles. Default is node.

chug( {
    nodeCmd: './my-node-bin'
} )

args

Additional command-line arguments to pass to each spawned process. Default is none.

chug( {
    args: [ '--my-arg-1', '--my-arg-2' ]
} )

Callback

You can pass a callback function to gulp chug that will be executed after the external gulpfile has finished running.

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

gulp.task( 'default', function () {

    gulp.src( './subproj/gulpfile.js' )
        .pipe( chug( function () {
            console.log( 'Done' );
        } ) )
} );

In combination with gulp-chug options:

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

gulp.task( 'default', function () {

    gulp.src( './subproj/gulpfile.js' )
        .pipe( chug( {
            tasks: [ 'my-task-1', 'my-task-2' ]
        }, function () {
            console.log( 'Done' );
        } ) )
} );
