I've been trying to find a definitive answer to a problem I'm having using GULP to load the latest jquery CDN or any other Javascript CDN external sources.
What I've got so far is all our JS files being found in a folder, concatenated to a single file and placed in a new folder called min. Ideally I'd like to also link into the concat process the jquery CDN's and other external js files.
Does anyone know what is the best way to do this?
Here is the code I've got so far:
var gulp = require('gulp');
var concat = require('gulp-concat');
var uglify = require('gulp-uglify');
var notify = require('gulp-notify');
gulp.task('js', function () {
return gulp.src('js/**/*.js') //select all javascript files under js/ and any subdirectory
.pipe(concat('mynewfile.min.js')) //the name of the resulting file
.pipe(uglify())
.pipe(gulp.dest('min')) //the destination folder
.pipe(notify({ message: 'Finished minifying JavaScript'}));
});
gulp.task('watch', function() {
gulp.watch('js/**/*.js', ['js']);
});
gulp.task('default', ['js', 'watch']);
