gulp-tasks

gulp-tasks represents a core collection of gulp tasks for Proxima's TypeScript repositories.

Motivation

We ought to DRY up our gulpfiles, and the easiest way to do that is to create a repo that actually contains all of our common gulp tasks. If a particular application (or service) needs bespoke tasks, they can still be written inside that particular repo.

Usage

This package is meant to used in such a way that individual tasks (typed as Gulp.TaskFunctions) can be imported as needed. Checkout the Gulpfile.ts at the root level for an example.

Bonus

It turns out, there's no need to write our Gulpfile's in js -- properly configuring ts-node and tsconfig-paths allows for Gulp to transpile Gulpfile.ts with zero issues.

Contributing

NPM releases are published automatically via a github workflow (read: whenever anyone publishes a github release). So, the easiest way to prepare this package for publication is via np:

np --no-publish --branch prod

This will draft a github release for you to fill in and then publish, triggering the workflow.
