Getting Started with Gulp ??? Second Edition

Overview of this book

This book is a hands-on guide to get you up to speed with gulp. You will quickly learn how to install, configure, and run your own build system. It will instill you with the ability to automate several common development tasks to vastly improve your development workflow. This book first demonstrates various Gulp use cases before running through the steps of configuring, running, and customizing Gulp, providing you with core concepts of gulp, node.js, and npm. Diving a bit deeper into the gulp ecosystem, we will discuss when and why to use a node module instead of a gulp plugin. We will also go over a few issues that we can run into while using gulp and learn about ways to work around them to improve your gulp experience. By the end of this book, you will be able to create your very own gulp build from scratch, create and maintain tasks and project builds, and automate your workflow with plugins and custom tasks.

In addition to learning how to use the command line, we are also going to understand the installation of Node.js and npm. These two tools allow us to run Gulp and manage the Gulp plugins that we will be using in our project.

Finally, we will cover the basics of using npm, and we will use it to install Gulp.
This will provide you with all of the necessary knowledge to get comfortable with...
