gulp-angular-builder

Gulp plugin to filter and include only necessary AngularJS files.


Wat?

  • Share common libraries and Angular directives, services, templates, etc. across multiple projects
  • Filter down to the minimal set of required files via the dependency tree

Install

Install with npm

npm install --save-dev gulp-angular-builder

Best used together with:


Usage

var angularbuilder = require("gulp-angular-builder");
gulp.task("build-files", function () {
    return gulp.src([
        // All js, html (ejs), and json files to consider
        "./shared/**/*.+(js|html|json)",
        "./local/**/*.+(js|html|json)",
        "./index.html.ejs"
    ]).pipe(
        angularbuilder(seed, options)
    ).pipe(
        // Do other things!
    );
};

angularbuilder(seed, options)

  • seed (Array | String): File or files to start building dependency tree from.
  • options (Object): Config object, detailed below.

Options

Dependency Tree Building:

  • parseExclude (Array1 | String | RegExp): Files not parsed for dependencies (e.g. non-Angular library files).
  • requiredFiles (Array1 | String | RegExp): Files included and parsed, even if they are not directly depended on (e.g. files with only decorators in them). This is different from the seed input as that should be shared amongst multiple projects while this should not be.

Additional Files:

  • requiredLibs (Array1 | String | RegExp): Files included but not parsed for dependencies. Use this in conjunction with parseExclude.
  • optionalLibs (Array1 | String | RegExp): Optional library files that, if depended on, will also include all files matched by the optionalLibsInclude.
  • optionalLibsInclude (Array1 | String | RegExp): Optional library files to include if matching optional library defined by optionalLib is included

Modules and Dependencies:

  • appModule (String): Name of main Angular module. This will be used to create an init.js file in the stream which will contain angular.module(appModule, [all required modules]);.
  • globalModules (Array | String): Modules to include in the init.js modules list that will not be found via the dependency tree building (e.g. modules in files from both requiredLibs and parseExclude).
  • globalDependencies (Array | String): Dependencies that will be defined globally but will not be found via the dependency tree building (e.g. dependencies from modules in globalModules). Unfound dependencies will throw a gulp error otherwise.

Misc:

  • filePriority (Array | String): Files sorted to the top of the stream.

1 Array of Strings or RegExps. Files are selected by partial matches.

Enforced Conventions:

  • Must use the angular.module for defining items
    • angular.module(moduleName).item(itemName, function (dep1, dep2, dep3) { ... })
    • angular.module(moduleName).item(itemName, ["dep1", "dep2", "dep3", function (dep1, dep2, dep3) { ... })
  • Directives need to return an object, not a reference to an object
    • return { templateUrl: "...", link: "..." };
    • Not var d = { templateUrl: "...", link: "..." }; return d;
  • Resolved injections into controllers uses the "resolve" property for the object defining the resolve (see ui-router or ui-bootstrap modals)

Misc:

  • All dependencies beginning with $ will be ignored.
  • Inline controllers within directives will be parsed if the controller function block is defined in the return object (i.e. not a reference to the controller).
  • Anything that matches the pattern "controller": "SomeCtrl" will consider SomeCtrl to be a dependency. (Quotes can be single or double; object key does not require quotes.)
  • All strings found in the file ending in .html or .json will be considered a template of that file (unless ignored via the ignoredTemplates option).
  • Supports $inject property

Limitations

  • Dynamically built template URLs will not be included (in both html partials and js files)
