##Gulp Tasks Structure This is gulp folder structure:

• config.js file : to define tasks options
• paths.js file : to define all paths for tasks
• base folder : contain base tasks
• default folder : contain common tasks for development
• build folder : contain build tasks for production

##Getting Started

• Install Node.js
• Install Gulp & bower globally

npm install -g gulp bower

• In terminal/command line, cd into your project directory
• Clone this workflow

git clone https://github.com/mohamdio/gulp-workflow.git .

• Clone source folder structure

git clone https://github.com/mohamdio/gulp-source-structure.git source

• Install Gulp dependencies

npm install

• Install front-end/bower dependencies

bower install

• After all done installing, you can run tasks
  • gulp to run default tasks for development
  • gulp build to build your project for production
  • gulp help to get a listing of available tasks

####Available Tasks

Task Name	Subtasks	Description
clean	clean:cache - clean:prod	clean dest folders (dev & prod) & caches :: base/clean.js
bower	bower:clean - bower:scss - bower:js - bower:css - bower:fonts	dest all bower dependencies to source folder :: base/bower.js
fonts	---	copy all fonts to dev folder :: default/fonts.js
sass	sass:compile - sass:doc - sass:cssRebaseUrl	compile sass files with docs & rebase css url :: default/sass.js
js	js:browserify - js:copySrc	browserify & uglify js files & copy source js files to dev folder :: default/scripts.js
images	images:minify - images:favicons	minify images & generate favicons :: default/images.js
nunjucks	nunjucks:render - nunjucks:inject	render nunjucks files & inject css/js files :: default/nunjucks.js
serve	serve:prod	start server & open browser for dev or prod mode :: base/serve.js
watch	---	start gulp watch for tasks (bower - sass - nunjucks - js) :: base/watch.js
build	---	main build task for prod mode
---	build:fonts	copy fonts to prod folder :: build/fonts.js
---	build:css	rebase url/remove unused selectors/strip comments/beautify/concat/minify :: build/css.js

---	build:images	copy images to prod folder :: build/images.js
---	build:html	copy & prettify html files and inject minified css/js files :: build/html.js

##Folders Structure

• source folder : contain all source files
• build folder : contain dest folders dev for development & prod for production
• bower_components folder : contain all bower dependencies
• gulp folder : contain all gulp tasks files
• node_modules folder : contain all gulp dependencies
• bower.json file : define bower dependencies
• gulpfile.js file : define gulp tasks for default & build
• package.json file : define gulp dependencies

##Configuration & Paths

• From gulp/config.js you can define tasks & plugins options without change anything in task file, example :

// bower task mainBowerFiles options
    mainBowerFiles: {
        // main options
        options: {
            base: 'bower_components'
        },
        // bower:css rename options
        rename: {
            suffix: "-css",
            extname: '.scss'
        },
        // watch src
        watch: ['./bower_components/**', './bower.json']
    },

• From gulp/paths.js you can define all paths for tasks, example :

// base paths
var src    = './source/',
    dist   = './build/',
    dev    = 'dev/',
    prod   = 'prod/',
    assets = 'assets/';

// nunjucks files
        nunjucks: {
            config: src + 'templates/',
            src: src + 'templates/*.{html,nunjucks}',
            watch: src + 'templates/**/*.+(html|nunjucks)'
        },
