Cache busting

File src/index.html:

<head>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/style.css?rel=@@timestamp">
  <script src="/js/app.js?rel=@@timestamp"></script>
</head>

Gulpfile:

var gulp = require('gulp');
var replace = require('gulp-replace-task');

gulp.task('default', function () {
  gulp
    .src('src/index.html')
    .pipe(
      replace({
        patterns: [
          {
            match: 'timestamp',
            replacement: Date.now()
          }
        ]
      })
    )
    .pipe(gulp.dest('build'));
});

Include file

File src/index.html:

<body>
  @@include
</body>

Gulpfile:

var gulp = require('gulp');
var replace = require('gulp-replace-task');
var fs = require('fs');

gulp.task('default', function () {
  gulp
    .src('src/index.html')
    .pipe(
      replace({
        patterns: [
          {
            match: 'include',
            replacement: fs.readFileSync('./includes/content.html', 'utf8')
          }
        ]
      })
    )
    .pipe(gulp.dest('build'));
});

Regular expression

File src/username.txt:

John Smith

Gulpfile:

var gulp = require('gulp');
var replace = require('gulp-replace-task');

gulp.task('default', function () {
  gulp
    .src('src/username.txt')
    .pipe(
      replace({
        patterns: [
          {
            match: /(\w+)\s(\w+)/,
            replacement: '$2, $1' // Replaces "John Smith" with "Smith, John"
          }
        ]
      })
    )
    .pipe(gulp.dest('build'));
});

Lookup for `foo` instead of `@@foo`

Gulpfile:

var gulp = require('gulp');
var replace = require('gulp-replace-task');

gulp.task('default', function () {
  gulp
    .src('src/foo.txt')
    .pipe(
      replace({
        patterns: [
          {
            match: /foo/g, // Explicitly using a regexp
            replacement: 'bar'
          }
        ]
      })
    )
    .pipe(
      replace({
        patterns: [
          {
            match: 'foo',
            replacement: 'bar'
          }
        ],
        usePrefix: false // Using the option provided
      })
    )
    .pipe(
      replace({
        patterns: [
          {
            match: 'foo',
            replacement: 'bar'
          }
        ],
        prefix: '' // Removing the prefix manually
      })
    )
    .pipe(gulp.dest('build'));
});
