Beneficial because it's keeping tasks DRY and config.json can be used by another task runner, like grunt
.
{
"desktop" : {
"src" : [
"dev/desktop/js/**/*.js",
"!dev/desktop/js/vendor/**"
],
"dest" : "build/desktop/js"
},
"mobile" : {
"src" : [
"dev/mobile/js/**/*.js",
"!dev/mobile/js/vendor/**"
],
"dest" : "build/mobile/js"
}
}
// npm install --save-dev gulp gulp-uglify
var gulp = require('gulp');
var uglify = require('gulp-uglify');
var config = require('./config.json');
function doStuff(cfg) {
return gulp.src(cfg.src)
.pipe(uglify())
.pipe(gulp.dest(cfg.dest));
}
gulp.task('dry', function() {
doStuff(config.desktop);
doStuff(config.mobile);
});
