Gulp plugin to wrap tag <img> with <picture> adding <source> including .avif and .webp and sort sources inside <picture> by size

The Idea of Plugin

I checked all popular packages that wrapping <img> with <picture> and combined them all in one with extra options & parameters like: sorting by size, adding custom image extenstions, ignoring certain image(s)

A list of packages that inspired me. You can check them out if you need more similar / simpler solutions

Features

No deprecated gulp-util!
Compitable with PHP <img src="<?php ...(); ?>/img/image.jpg" alt="Example">
Works with any format if <img> tag (no need to write tag in one line, it can be tabulated)
Adds <source> with .avif & .webp by default ( can be adjusted in parameters ) and possibility to add custom image extensions
Ignore <img> inside HTML Comments
Ignore <img> inside <script></script> that inlined into html
Ignore existing <picture> tags
Option to add a class for the <picture> tag after building the project using a special attribute <img data-picture-class="picture-wrapper"> in the source code
Option to sort sources inside <picture> by their size to force browser download the smallest one
Option to remove <sources> with incorrect or unexisted src attribute
Possibility not to wrap certain image(s) with special attribute or class name <img data-ignore class="img-ignore" src="" alt="">

Install

$ npm i --save-dev gulp-html-php-picture

Usage

Use this into your gulpfile.js:

const gulp = require('gulp')
const imgToPicture = require("gulp-html-php-picture")

function html() {
    return src('src/*.html')
        .pipe(imgToPicture({
            imgFolder: './dist',
        }))
        .pipe(gulp.dest('dist/'))
}

exports.html = html;

with modern ES6 modules syntax:

import gulp from "gulp"
import imgToPicture from "gulp-html-php-picture"

const html = () => {
    return src('src/*.html')
        .pipe(imgToPicture({
            imgFolder: './dist',
        }))
        .pipe(gulp.dest('dist/'))
}

exports.html = html;

Recommended to use with gulp-plumber :

import gulp from "gulp"
import plumber from "gulp-plumber"
import imgToPicture from "gulp-html-php-picture"

const html = () => {
    return src('src/*.html')
        .pipe(plumber({
            errorHandler: function (err) {
                notify.onError({
                    title: "HTML Error",
                    message: "<%= error.message %>"
                })(err)
            }
        }))
        .pipe(imgToPicture({
            imgFolder: './dist',
        }))
        .pipe(gulp.dest('dist/'))
}

exports.html = html;
