Replace original file with busted file

[cmmcleod]

Is there a clean mechanism to 'bust-in-place', i.e. Rename the source files if they are busted. The task I've created to do this is a bit hacky/ugly.

Tips, or suggestions welcome.

gulp.task('revAllAndReplace', function(done) {
  var revAll = new RevAll();
  var stream = gulp.src('dist/**')
    .pipe(revAll.revision())
    .pipe(gulp.dest('dist'))        // Instead something like: .pipe(revAll.replace())
    .pipe(revAll.manifestFile())
    .pipe(gulp.dest('dist'));

  stream.on('end', function() {
    var manifest = require('./dist/rev-manifest.json');
    var arr = [];
    for(var origFileName in manifest) {
      if(origFileName != manifest[origFileName]) { // For all files busted/renamed
        arr.push('./dist/' + origFileName);       // Add the original filename to the list
        console.log(origFileName);
      }
    }
    // Using npm 'del' package in this case to remove original files
    del(arr, done);     // Delete all originals files the were not busted/renamed
  });
  stream.on('error', done);
});

This might look nicer for you :

var gulp = require('gulp'),
    revall =  require('gulp-rev-all'),
    vinyl = require('vinyl-paths'),
    del = require('del'),
    Q = require('bluebird');

gulp.task('clean:static', function() {
  return new Q(function(resolve, reject){ 
    var skinTight = vinyl();

    gulp.src('dist/static/*.*', { read: false})
        .pipe(skinTight)
        .pipe(revall.revision())
        .pipe(gulp.dest('dist/'))
        .on('end', function(){
          del(skinTight.paths)
            .then(resolve)
            .catch(reject);
          });
  });

});

• uses vinyl-paths to store the incoming paths before being fingerprinted.
• do your gulp plugin requires outside of the task
• returns a promise to remain async
