QUESTION PART 1: OUTPUTTING TO A NESTED DYNAMIC FOLDER
I use Gulp.js for graphic email development. My employer is switching to a different marketing platform which requires our email templates to be in a different folder structure. I'm having trouble outputting to nested folders when gulp.src uses globbing. I'd appreciate your help!
Here is a simplified example the gulp.src folder:
build/template1/template1.html
build/template2/template2.html
build/template3/template4.html
build/template4/template4.html
Here is a simplified example the gulp.src folder:
build/template1/theme/html/template1.html
build/template2/theme/html/template2.html
build/template3/theme/html/template4.html
build/template4/theme/html/template4.html
I want to do something like a wildcard for the dynamic template folders ...
gulp.task('moveFile', function(){
return gulp.src('./build/*/*.html')
.pipe(gulp.dest('./build/*/theme/html'));
});
... But globbing only works in the gulp.src. How can I output to a dynamic folder when using a globbed gulp.src? the closest I can get is putting the /theme folder at the same level as the template folders, not inside each as desired.
Thank you for your help!
QUESTION PART 2: OUTPUTTING A *RENAMED FILE* TO A NESTED DYNAMIC FOLDER
Mark's answered my question (Thanks @Mark!), but I over-simplified my use case so I'm adding a Part 2.
In addition to nesting the file, I need to rename it. (I had this part working originally, but can't get the 2 parts to work together.) Referring to the gulp-rename documentation, I made 3 different attempts. It's so close but I'd appreciate a little more help. :-)
// ATTEMPT 1: Using gulp-rename mutating function method
gulp.task('createTwig', function(){
return gulp.src('./build/*/*.html')
.pipe(rename(
function (path) {
path.basename = "email";
path.extname = ".html.twig";
},
function (file) {
console.log(file.dirname);
file.dirname = nodePath.join(file.dirname, 'theme/html');
}
))
.pipe(gulp.dest('./build/'));
});
// ATTEMPT 2: Using gulp-rename fixed object method
gulp.task('createTwig', function(){
return gulp.src('./build/*/*.html', { base: process.cwd() })
.pipe(rename(
{
basename: "email",
extname: ".html.twig"
},
function (file) {
console.log(file.dirname);
file.dirname = nodePath.join(file.dirname, 'theme/html');
}
))
.pipe(gulp.dest('./build/'));
});
// ATTEMPT 3: Using gulp-rename mutating function method
gulp.task('createTwig', function(){
return gulp.src('./build/*/*.html')
.pipe(rename(
function (path, file) {
path.basename = "email";
path.extname = ".html.twig";
console.log(file.dirname);
file.dirname = nodePath.join(file.dirname, 'theme/html');
}
))
.pipe(gulp.dest('./build/'));
});
This works:
I tried a few ways, including trying the
base
option andgulp-flatten
and using a function ingulp.dest
but this was the easiest.Question Part #2:
path.basename/extname
are just "getters", you cannot set those values.
