#gulp-include

Makes inclusion of files a breeze.
Enables functionality similar to that of snockets / sprockets or other file insertion compilation tools.

Made for gulp 3

First, install gulp-include as a dev dependency: npm install --save-dev gulp-include

Then, add your include-comments to your file.
People who have experience with sprockets or snockets will feel at home.

An include-comment looks like this:

//= include relative/path/to/file.js

or if you want to get crazy, a glob pattern like so:

//= include relative/path/to/directory/*.js

or to get even crazier, an array glob similar to commonly used in GruntJS:

//= include ['app/someFramework.js', 'app/**/*.js', '!app/vendor/**/*', 'app/someLibrary.js']

(Note: for those of you unfamiliar with the above syntax, check out https://github.com/isaacs/node-glob or http://gruntjs.com/configuring-tasks#globbing-patterns)

You can do all of this in any language, the only requirement is that the first character on the line after any #, /, or white space characters is an equal sign.

#= require_tree relative/path/to/directory

gulp-include disregards whitespace, as long as the comment-line starts with a newline followed = and contains include, require or include_tree, require_tree.

This plugin recursively expand files it includes, so you can nest includes inside of files that were themselves included. IE:

main.js:

//= include included_file.js 

included_file.js:

//= include recursive_include.js

And so on recursively to an arbitrary depth.

The example below compiles a several coffee-files and js-files into a single js-file:

app.coffee:

`
//= require vendor/jquery.js
//= require vendor/modernizr.js
`

#= require controllers/AppController.coffee
#= require_tree views

class Main extends AppController
	constructor: ->
		console.log "This is main!"

window.main = new Main()

Note: The example above uses backsticks (`) to allow gulp-coffee to compile inline javascript

gulpfile.js:

var gulp		= require('gulp'),
	include		= require('gulp-include'),
	coffee		= require('gulp-coffee');

gulp.task("scripts", function() {
	gulp.src('src/js/app.coffee')
		.pipe( include() )
		.pipe( coffee() )
		.pipe( gulp.dest("dist/js") )
});

gulp.task("default", "scripts");

• extensions (optional)
  • Takes a String or an Array of extensions, eg: "js" or ["js", "coffee"]
  • If set, all inclusions that does not match the extension(s) will be ignored

• Fixed issue which caused extensions to be "remembered" if gulp-include ran multiple times in a row, resulting in lost includes

• Merged major refactoring by scottmas - Many thanks!

  • Rewritten core (regex, replacing and file mashing)
  • Glob support
  • Recursive support
  • Respecting indentation of included files

• Upping version to 1.0.0 - seems fitting after such a large refactor

• Merged community fixes by platdesign and cujojp

• Updated regex directive to not collide with other requireing plugins, like browserify (cwacek)

• Changed replace-method to fix issue when requiring a file that contained special characters (juanghurtado)

• Added require_tree/include_tree (Thanks to juanghurtado!)
• Method now takes an extensions param for controlling what types of files to include

• Basic include
