Using a Gulp Plugin

Natron should be compatible with the majority of Gulp plugins out there, since it's also using Vinyl for file transformations. [block:api-header] { "type": "basic", "title": "Examples" } [/block] ## `gulp-uglify` The following snippet shows how the plugin is supposed to be used with Gulp. [block:code] { "codes": [ { "code": "var gulp = require(\"gulp\");\nvar uglify = require(\"gulp-uglify\");\n \ngulp.task(\"minify\", function() {\n return (gulp.src(\"src/**/*.js\")\n .pipe(uglify())\n .pipe(gulp.dest(\"dist\"))\n );\n});", "language": "javascript" } ] } [/block] In order to use it with Natron we need to install the `vinyl-fs` package or simple use the `natron-vinyl` module which includes some Vinyl related utilities like the file system adapter and the file transformer. So the Natronfile would look similar to this: [block:code] { "codes": [ { "code": "import {src, dest} from \"natron-vinyl\";\nimport uglify from \"gulp-uglify\";\n\nexport function minify() {\n return (src(\"src/**/*.js\")\n .pipe(uglify())\n .pipe(dest(\"dist\"))\n );\n}", "language": "javascript" } ] } [/block] ## `gulp-debug` With `gulp-debug` files that are currently in the transformation pipeline can be listed for debugging purposes. The usage with Natron is quite similiar: [block:code] { "codes": [ { "code": "import {src, dest} from \"natron-vinyl\";\nimport debug from \"gulp-debug\";\n\nexport function doSomething() {\n return (src(\"src/**/*.js\")\n .pipe(debug())\n .pipe(dest(\"dist\"))\n );\n}", "language": "javascript" } ] } [/block] However a more lightweight approach to list all files in the pipeline would be to create a simple transformer: [block:code] { "codes": [ { "code": "import {src, dest, transformer} from \"natron-vinyl\";\n\nlet FileLogger = transformer((file) => {\n console.log(file.path);\n return file;\n});\n\nexport function doSomething() {\n return (src(\"src/**/*.js\")\n .pipe(new FileLogger())\n .pipe(dest(\"dist\"))\n );\n}", "language": "javascript" } ] } [/block]
