# gulp-load-plugins
|
|
|
|
[](https://nodei.co/npm/gulp-load-plugins/)
|
|
|
|
> Loads gulp plugins from package dependencies and attaches them to an object of your choice.
|
|
|
|
[](https://travis-ci.org/jackfranklin/gulp-load-plugins)
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ npm install --save-dev gulp-load-plugins
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Given a `package.json` file that has some dependencies within:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"dependencies": {
|
|
"gulp-jshint": "*",
|
|
"gulp-concat": "*"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Adding this into your `Gulpfile.js`:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var gulp = require('gulp');
|
|
var gulpLoadPlugins = require('gulp-load-plugins');
|
|
var plugins = gulpLoadPlugins();
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or, even shorter:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var plugins = require('gulp-load-plugins')();
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Will result in the following happening (roughly, plugins are lazy loaded but in practice you won't notice any difference):
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
plugins.jshint = require('gulp-jshint');
|
|
plugins.concat = require('gulp-concat');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can then use the plugins just like you would if you'd manually required them, but referring to them as `plugins.name()`, rather than just `name()`.
|
|
|
|
This frees you up from having to manually require each gulp plugin.
|
|
|
|
## Options
|
|
|
|
You can pass in an object of options that are shown below: (the values for the keys are the defaults):
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
gulpLoadPlugins({
|
|
DEBUG: false, // when set to true, the plugin will log info to console. Useful for bug reporting and issue debugging
|
|
pattern: ['gulp-*', 'gulp.*', '@*/gulp{-,.}*'], // the glob(s) to search for
|
|
overridePattern: true, // When true, overrides the built-in patterns. Otherwise, extends built-in patterns matcher list.
|
|
config: 'package.json', // where to find the plugins, by default searched up from process.cwd()
|
|
scope: ['dependencies', 'devDependencies', 'peerDependencies'], // which keys in the config to look within
|
|
replaceString: /^gulp(-|\.)/, // what to remove from the name of the module when adding it to the context
|
|
camelize: true, // if true, transforms hyphenated plugins names to camel case
|
|
lazy: true, // whether the plugins should be lazy loaded on demand
|
|
rename: {}, // a mapping of plugins to rename
|
|
renameFn: function (name) { ... }, // a function to handle the renaming of plugins (the default works)
|
|
postRequireTransforms: {}, // see documentation below
|
|
maintainScope: true // toggles loading all npm scopes like non-scoped packages
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Multiple `config` locations
|
|
|
|
While it's possile to grab plugins from another location, often times you may want to extend from another package that enables you to keep your own `package.json` free from duplicates, but still add in your own plugins that are needed for your project. Since the `config` option accepts an object, you can merge together multiple locations using the [lodash.merge](https://www.npmjs.com/package/lodash.merge) package:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var merge = require('lodash.merge');
|
|
|
|
var packages = merge(
|
|
require('dep/package.json'),
|
|
require('./package.json')
|
|
);
|
|
|
|
// Utilities
|
|
var $ = gulpLoadPlugins({
|
|
config: packages
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## `postRequireTransforms` (1.3+ only)
|
|
|
|
This enables you to transform the plugin after it has been required by gulp-load-plugins.
|
|
|
|
For example, one particular plugin (let's say, `gulp-foo`), might need you to call a function to configure it before it is used. So you would end up with:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var $ = require('gulp-load-plugins')();
|
|
$.foo = $.foo.configure(...);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This is a bit messy. Instead you can pass a `postRequireTransforms` object which will enable you to do this:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var $ = require('gulp-load-plugins')({
|
|
postRequireTransforms: {
|
|
foo: function(foo) {
|
|
return foo.configure(...);
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
$.foo // is already configured
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Everytime a plugin is loaded, we check to see if a transform is defined, and if so, we call that function, passing in the loaded plugin. Whatever this function returns is then used as the value that's returned by gulp-load-plugins.
|
|
|
|
For 99% of gulp-plugins you will not need this behaviour, but for the odd plugin it's a nice way of keeping your code cleaner.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Renaming
|
|
|
|
From 0.8.0, you can pass in an object of mappings for renaming plugins. For example, imagine you want to load the `gulp-ruby-sass` plugin, but want to refer to it as just `sass`:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
gulpLoadPlugins({
|
|
rename: {
|
|
'gulp-ruby-sass': 'sass'
|
|
}
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that if you specify the `renameFn` options with your own custom rename function, while the `rename` option will still work, the `replaceString` and `camelize` options will be ignored.
|
|
|
|
## npm Scopes
|
|
|
|
`gulp-load-plugins` comes with [npm scope](https://docs.npmjs.com/misc/scope) support. By default, the scoped plugins are accessible through an object on `plugins` that represents the scope. When `maintainScope = false`, the plugins are available in the top level just like any other non-scoped plugins.
|
|
|
|
__Note:__ `maintainScope` is only available in Version 1.4.0 and up.
|
|
|
|
For example, if the plugin is `@myco/gulp-test-plugin` then you can access the plugin as shown in the following example:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var scoped = require('gulp-load-plugins')({
|
|
// true is the default value
|
|
maintainScope: true,
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
scoped.myco.testPlugin();
|
|
|
|
var nonScoped = require('gulp-load-plugins')({
|
|
maintainScope: false,
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
nonScoped.testPlugin();
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Lazy Loading
|
|
|
|
In 0.4.0 and prior, lazy loading used to only work with plugins that return a function. In newer versions though, lazy loading should work for any plugin. If you have a problem related to this please try disabling lazy loading and see if that fixes it. Feel free to open an issue on this repo too.
|
|
|
|
## Override Pattern
|
|
|
|
In 1.4.0 and prior, configuring the `pattern` option would override the built-in `['gulp-*', 'gulp.*', '@*/gulp{-,.}*']`. If `overridePattern: false`, the configured `pattern` will now extends the built-in matching.
|
|
|
|
For example, both are equivilant statements.
|
|
```js
|
|
var overridePlugins = require('gulp-load-plugins')({
|
|
// true is the default value
|
|
overridePattern: true,
|
|
pattern: ['gulp-*', 'gulp.*', '@*/gulp{-,.}*', 'foo-bar']
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
var extendedPlugins = require('gulp-load-plugins')({
|
|
overridePattern: false,
|
|
pattern: ['foo-bar']
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Credit
|
|
|
|
Credit largely goes to @sindresorhus for his [load-grunt-plugins](https://github.com/sindresorhus/load-grunt-tasks) plugin. This plugin is almost identical, just tweaked slightly to work with Gulp and to expose the required plugins.
