Provides an easy way to get a listing of your tasks from your gulpfile.

Overview

Gulp-task-listing is a powerful tool designed to enhance the Gulp workflow by providing a structured listing of tasks directly from your gulpfile. It intelligently groups tasks based on specific naming conventions, allowing developers to quickly identify primary and sub-tasks, thereby streamlining the development process. This utility is particularly useful for maintaining clarity in larger projects where numerous tasks can easily become overwhelming.

By default, the output distinguishes tasks that include conditions such as hyphens, underscores, or colons, helping users maintain an organized project structure. With the ability to customize the listing further, gulp-task-listing adapts to unique project requirements, making it a versatile solution for any Gulp user.

Features

  • Task Grouping: Automatically groups tasks based on the presence of hyphens (-), underscores (_), or colons (:), enhancing readability.
  • Custom Filtering: Use taskListing.withFilters(subtaskFilter, excludeFilter) to selectively display tasks, tailoring the output to your preferences.
  • Flexible Regex Options: Override the default regex for subtask detection, allowing for personalized task categorization.
  • Exclusion Capabilities: Easily filter out specific tasks from the listing, such as those containing the word "secret," to focus only on relevant tasks.
  • Customization Functions: Apply complex custom functions for filtering tasks, providing complete control over the listing process.
  • MIT License: Open-source license allowing for widespread usage and modification, fostering community support and improvements.
