gulp-css-glob

A Gulp plugin for globbing CSS @import statements

Expands CSS @import statements containing globs with the full paths. Useful with pre-processors like Sass.

Install

Install gulp-css-glob as a development dependency using npm:

yarn add gulp-css-glob --dev

Usage

const cssGlobbing = require('gulp-css-globbing');

gulp.task('css', () => {
    gulp.src(['src/styles.css'])
        .pipe(cssGlobbing())
        .pipe(gulp.dest('build/styles.css'));
});

Given a CSS file that looks like this:

@import url('components/*.css');

body {
      background: white;
}

The plugin would produce the following:

@import url('components/flex-embed.css');
@import url('components/media.css');

body {
      background: white;
}

Globbing is relative to the source file's path.

Options

gulp-css-globbing can be called with an options object:

gulp.task('css', function(){
    gulp.src(['src/styles.css'])
        .pipe(cssGlobbing({
            extensions     : ['.css', '.scss'],
            scssImportPath : {
                leading_underscore : false,
                filename_extension : false
            }
        }))
        .pipe(gulp.dest('build/styles.css'));
});

extensions

Type: String or Array

The file extensions to treat as valid imported files. If files are found that match the glob, but its extensions don't match this option, they will not be added to the resulting file.

Default: ['.css']

scssImportPath

Type: Object

Allows for default scss rules for writing scss import paths.

Default:

{
  leading_underscore: true, // underscores will NOT be removed
  filename_extension: true // extensions will NOT be removed
}

Leading Underscore

If leading_underscore is set to false, then the first leading underscore of a file name will be removed. Example: .../main/_main.scss becomes @import '../main/main.scss';

Filename Extension

If filename_extension is set to false, then the the extension of a file name will be removed. Example: .../main/_main.scss becomes @import '../main/_main';
