// Default usage:
// Open one file with default application

gulp.task("default", function(){
  gulp.src("./index.html")
  .pipe(open("<%file.path%>")); 
});


// Open all .html files in a folder with a defined application

gulp.task("open", function(){
  gulp.src("./htdocs/*.html")
  .pipe(open("<%file.path%>",{app:"google-chrome"}));
});


// Simple usage, no options.
// This will use the default applications

gulp.task("simple", function(){
  gulp.src("./index.html")
  .pipe(open());
});


// Open an URL:

gulp.task("url", function(){
  var options = {
    url: "http://localhost:3000",
    app: "firefox"
  };
  gulp.src("./index.html")
  .pipe(open("", options));
});
// A file must be specified as the src when running options.url or gulp will overlook the task.




// Run the task with gulp

gulp.task("default", function(){
  gulp.run("open");
});

"chrome" // Windows
"firefox"

// Example:

.pipe(open("file://<%file.path%>", {app:"google-chrome"}));

###Options.url String, web url

gulp.src("./stubFile.html")
.pipe(open("", {app: "google-chrome", url: "http://localhost:3000"}));
// An actual file must be specified as the src when running options.url or gulp-open es.map will overlook the task.
