Secret elixir

Secret elixir is a simplified version of Laravel elixir created special for frontend tasks.

Installation

npm install secret-elixir --save

Usage

Create gulpfile.js in the base directory.

Example:

var elixir = require('secret-elixir');

elixir(function (mix) {
    //working with single file
    mix.less('./path/to/less/file', './path/to/build/destination');
    //or array of files
    mix.scripts([
        './path/to/first/js/file',
        './path/to/second/js/file',
    ], './path/to/build/destination);
    //or glob
    mix.copy('./path/to/files/*', './path/to/destination');
});

Run with gulp or gulp watch for real time updating. Also, there is a --production flag used for minification.

Available methods:

CSS

mix.styles - concatenates css files + autoprefixer

JS

mix.scripts - concatenates js files
mix.babel - transpiles ES6 to ES5

Less

mix.less - compiles less to css + autoprefixer + base64

Sass

mix.sass - compiles sass to css + autoprefixer + base64

HTML

mix.html - passes html files to gulp-rigger

Utils

mix.copy - copies files to destination
mix.concat - concatenates files (useful when there is no need of minification in production mode)
