gulp-file-sync

Sync file It keeps your files synced between two directory. In other words, any change of files in one directory will automatically take place in another one.

Migration from Version 1

If you were previously passing a function as an ignore option, you'll have to replace the old function signature dir with stats. We made this change in 2.0.0.

Installation

npm install --save-dev gulp-file-sync

Usage

var gulp = require('gulp'),
    fileSync = require('gulp-file-sync');

gulp.task('sync', function() {
  gulp.watch(['src/*.*'], function() {
    fileSync('src', 'dest', {recursive: false});
  });
});

})
fileSync('source directory', 'destination directory', {
    ignore: [/^\.log$/i, '.cache'] // Exclude all .log and .cache files
})
fileSync('source directory', 'destination directory', {
    ignore: /^\.log$/i 
})
fileSync('source directory', 'destination directory', {
    ignore: function(stats, file) {
        if (stats.isFile()) {
            return file === '.log';
        }
        return false;
    }

var gutil = require('gulp-util');
function(fullPathSrc, fullPathDest) {
  gutil.log('File modification synced ' + fullPathDest);
}

This function is called when file was updated on source directory.

• fullPathSrc - is the path of file that was updated on source directory.
• fullPathDest - is the path of file that was copied to destination directory.
