1var gulpBowerFiles = require('gulp-bower-files');
2
3gulp.task("bower-files", function(){
4    gulpBowerFiles().pipe(gulp.dest("./lib"));

Options

Overrides Options

These options can be set directly in your bower.json file, e.g.:

1{
2    "name": "your-package-name",
3    "dependencies": {
4        "BOWER-PACKAGE": "*"
5    },
6    "overrides": {
7        "BOWER-PACKAGE": {
8            // Here you can override the main files or ignoring this package, for more info see options
9        }
10    }
11}

main

Type: String or Array or Object

You can specify which files should be selected. You can gulp-bower-files select files based on the process.env.NODE_ENV if you provide an Object with keys as the environment, e.g.:

1{
2    "overrides": {
3        "BOWER-PACKAGE": {
4            "main": {
5                "development": "file.js",
6                "production": "file.min.js",
7            }
8        }
9    }
10}

ignore

Type: Boolean Default: false

Set to true if you want to ignore this package.

dependencies

Type: Object

You can override the dependencies of a package. Set to null to ignore the dependencies.

Common Options

These options can be passed to this plugin, e.g: bowerFiles(/* options*/)

debugging

Type: boolean Default: false

Set to true to enable debugging output.

main

Type: String or Array or Object Default: null

You can specify for all packages a default main property which will be used if the package does not provide a main property.

env

Type: String Default: process.env.NODE_ENV

If process.env.NODE_ENV is not set you can use this option.

paths

Type: Object or String

You can specify the paths where the following bower specific files are located: bower_components, .bowerrc and bower.json

For example:

1bowerFiles({
2    paths: {
3        bowerDirectory: 'path/for/bower_components',
4        bowerrc: 'path/for/.bowerrc',
5        bowerJson: 'path/for/bower.json'
6    }
7})
8.pipe(gulp.dest('client/src/lib'));

If a String is supplied instead, it will become the basepath for default paths.

For example:

1bowerFiles({ paths: 'path/for/project' })
2.pipe(gulp.dest('client/src/lib'));
3
4/*
5    {
6        bowerDirectory: 'path/for/project/bower_components',
7        bowerrc: 'path/for/project/.bowerrc',
8        bowerJson: 'path/for/project/bower.json'
9    }
10*/

checkExistence

Type: boolean Default: false

Set this to true if you want that the plugin checks every file for existence. If enabled and a file does not exists, the plugin will throw an exception.
