gulp-if

Use boolean expressions or functions to conditionally control the flow of streams.

Usage

var gulpif = require('gulp-if');
var uglify = require('gulp-uglify');

var condition = true; // TODO: add business logic

gulp.task('task', function() {
  gulp.src('./src/*.js')
    .pipe(gulpif(condition, uglify()))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./dist/'));
});

API

gulpif(condition, stream [, branch])

gulp-if will pipe data to stream appropriately whenever condition is satisfied.

To visualize stream flow, see the following diagram:

If condition is unsatisfied, then data from stream A will pass onto Stream D.

However, if condition is satisfied, then data from stream A will pipe to stream B.

If branch is true, stream B will not pass data to stream D. This is useful if another stream, say stream C, is connected to stream B. Otherwise, stream B will pass data to stream D whenever branch is false.

Parameters

condition

Type: boolean or stat object or function that takes in a vinyl file and returns a boolean or RegularExpression that works on the file.path

The condition parameter is any of the conditions supported by gulp-match. The file.path is passed into gulp-match.

If a function is given, then the function is passed a vinyl file. The function should return a boolean.

stream

Stream for gulp-if to pipe data into. Useful when given a gulp-plugin.

branch

Type: boolean

Default: false

branch controls the flow behavior of whether gulp-if should pipe stream back to the main stream (i.e. branching flow).

If true, then gulp-if will not pipe stream back to the main stream. Otherwise, gulp-if will pipe stream back to the main stream.
