ASPNET5 Gulp Plugin

GulpJS plugin for ASPNET5 / DNX / DNU / Kestrel that is cross-platform. This plugin does the following:

• Build
• Update
• Start DNX

and with Gulp you can setup watchers for recompiling on the fly and restarting the web server. Similar to gulp-dnx but this one has more logging opts, notifications and is cross platform.

Usage

build.js

var gulp = require('gulp');
var DNX = require('gulp-aspnet5');
gulp.task('build:csharp', function(cb) {
  DNX.build({ cwd: './' }, cb);
});

watch.js

var gulp = require('gulp');
var runSequence = require('run-sequence');
var paths = './**/*.cs';

function changed(event) {
  gutil.log(`File ${event.path} was ${event.type}, running tasks...`);
};

gulp.task('watch', ['build'], function() {
  gulp.watch(paths, {interval: 500}, function(){
    runSequence('build:csharp', 'start:api');
  }).on('change', changed);
});

server.js

var gulp = require('gulp');
var DNX = require('gulp-aspnet5');

var server;
gulp.task('start:api', function(cb) {
  if(!server) server = new DNX({ cwd: paths.api  });
  server.start('weblistener', cb);
});

Options

{
  // current working directory
  cwd: './',
  
  // how noisy?
  // options: 'debug', 'info', 'error', 'silent'
  logLevel: 'debug',
  
  // notify on errors
  notify: true
}
