Gulp plugin to rebuild jade files and other files that have extended or included those files

Overview

Gulp-jade-inheritance is an innovative solution for managing dependencies in your Jade templates. It automates the rebuilding of a Jade file whenever other files that extend or include that file are changed. This is particularly useful for developers looking to streamline their workflow while ensuring that all related templates are updated in sync, saving time and reducing errors.

With its intuitive setup, you can focus more on creating content rather than worrying about manually tracking down and processing dependencies. By utilizing this plugin, you'll enhance your development efficiency and enjoy a more seamless experience when working with Jade templates.

Features

  • Automatic Dependency Tracking: Gulp-jade-inheritance automatically identifies and tracks dependencies between your Jade files, ensuring that changes are propagated throughout all related templates.

  • Selective File Processing: With the integration of gulp-changed and gulp-cached, the plugin processes only those files that have changed, optimizing your build process.

  • Partial Prevention Mechanism: You can prevent specific partials from being processed by simply prefixing their names with an underscore, allowing for greater control over your template builds.

  • Easy Setup: Installing the plugin is straightforward; it works seamlessly with Jade version 1.11 and requires minimal configuration in your gulpfile.js.

  • Efficient Build Management: The plugin helps manage complex templates by maintaining a clean structure and preventing unnecessary recompilation of template files.

  • Improved Development Workflow: By automating the rebuild process, developers can focus more on coding and less on build management, accelerating the overall development cycle.
