Create gulp plugin from a function or object that works with string data (e.g. a converter).

API

Exposes function that returns a gulp plugin: gulpPluginFabric(name, run, [init]).

• name: name of the plugin (will be gulp-name)
• run: function that transforms incoming data, can be both sync or async
• init: function that is launched before run with options (optional)

The following types of functions are supported:

1. Sync: run(data, options) returns resulting string, or throws an error
2. Async: run(data, options, cb) calls cb(null, result) upon successful completion, or cb(err) in case of an error

Examples

Let's create a simple gulp plugin that adds a custom suffix to the input string. For example, suffix "!" would result in "str" -> "str!" transformation.

Convert function to gulp plugin:

let run = (text, options) => text + options.suffix;
let plugin = require('gulp-plugin-fabric')("my-plugin", run);

Convert object to gulp plugin:

let runner = {
  _suffix: "!", 
  run: function(text, options) {
    return text + this._suffix;
  }, 
  init: function (options) { 
    this._suffix = options.suffix | ""; 
  }
};

let plugin = require('gulp-plugin-fabric')("my-plugin", runner.run.bind(runner), runner.init.bind(runner));

Then you can use plugin in gulp as follows:

gulp.src('.')
    .pipe(plugin({suffix: "!"}))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('out'));
