gulp-add-src

Add more 'src' files at any point in the pipeline

Installation

npm install gulp-add-src --save-dev

Usage

Works like gulp.src, but you can put it anywhere in your pipeline and it will append the given files to the pipeline.

Example:

1var gulp = require('gulp');
2var addsrc = require('gulp-add-src');
3var coffee = require('gulp-coffee');
4var uglify = require('gulp-uglify');
5
6gulp.task('build', function () {
7  return gulp.src('files/coffee/*.coffee')   // start with the .coffee files in the project
8	.pipe(coffee())                          // compiles coffee script
9	.pipe(addsrc('files/js/*.js'))           // we use addsrc to add our .js files to the mix
10	.pipe(uglify())                          // we minify everything
11	.pipe(gulp.dest('dist'));                // and write to dist
12});

If you want add SRC to begining of the SRC array, you can use addsrc.prepend. Or if you want to add SRC to end of the SRC array, you can use addsrc.append. Respectively instead of addsrc.

Example use addsrc.append and addsrc.prepend:

1var gulp = require('gulp');
2var addsrc = require('gulp-add-src');
3var coffee = require('gulp-coffee');
4var uglify = require('gulp-uglify');
5
6gulp.task('build.angular', function () {
7  return gulp.src('files/coffee/*.coffee')          // start with the .coffee files in the project
8	.pipe(coffee())                                 // compiles coffee script
9	.pipe(addsrc.prepend('files/js/constants.js'))  // we use `addsrc.prepend` to add our .js files to begining of the SRC array
10	.pipe(addsrc.append('files/js/conflict.js'))    // we use `addsrc.append` to add our .js files to end of the SRC array
11	.pipe(uglify())                                 // we minify everything
12	.pipe(gulp.dest('dist'));                       // and write to dist
13});

As an example, this would be useful if you wanted to merge your bower scripts with your app scripts. You'd need your bower scripts to maintain their order (the bower scripts themselves) and make sure they come before your app scripts. In this case, you'd use addsrc.prepend.

Because of the unpredicabilty of addsrc alone, it's recommended to use one of the append/prepend variants. The original is only left in place for legacy reasons.
