#gulp-runner-tdp-plugin-build-js

##Overview
A plugin for gulp-runner-tdp which:

• Can be configured with one or more (glob-able) source path patterns and corresponding output locations to build your javascript files
• Will create one gulp task per configuration
• Will create an "all" gulp task - this will run all your configurations in one task
• Can (configurably, you have options including enable/disable for each) build your javascript by running it through:
  • A destination clean step
  • sourcemaps (to create a sourcemap)
  • babel (to transpile your javascript from ES6/7 to ES5, for example)
  • uglify (to minify your javascript)
  • concat (to concatenate multiple javascript files into one)

##Semver
This project aims to maintain the semver version numbering scheme.

##Usage
This library is intended to be used as a plugin for gulp-runner-tdp, tasks it registers will appear as gulp tasks in that context.

##Configuration
The default configuration file for this plugin will be copied into (relative to your project root) ./gulp-runner-tdp/config/gulp-runner-tdp-plugin-build-js-config.js - this file will be preferred over the distributed configuration file at run time and is intended to be modified (to be project-specific) by the user and kept in source control (e.g. git/svn/mercurial etc.)

For an example, see the default configuration file, the source is annotated and should be pretty intuitive (please raise an issue if you feel otherwise so I have your feedback).
