gulp-through
Gulp stream transform factory that enables quick and easy gulp integration of any NodeJS library into your Gulp workflow. You can directly link against used libraries (uglify, less, etc.) instead of relying on basic gulp wrappers (often outdated).
Getting Started
This plugin requires Gulp ^3.0.0
If you haven't used Gulp before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gulpfile as well as install and use Gulp plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:
npm install gulp-through --save-dev
Once the plugin has been installed, it may be required inside your Gulpfile with this line of JavaScript:
var through = require('gulp-through');
Usage
var through = require('gulp-through');
var less = require('less');
var gulpLess = through('less', function(file, config) {
less.render(String(file.contents), config, function(err, result) {
if(path.extname(file.path) !== '.less') return;
if(err) return this.emit('error', new gutil.PluginError('less', err));
file.contents = new Buffer(result);
file.path = gutil.replaceExtension(file.path, '.css');
});
}, defaults);
