gulp-inject-file

File inject plugin for gulp.

gulp-inject-file takes a stream of source files, and replaces inject pattern with contents of the referenced file.

Installation

Install gulp-inject as a development dependency:

npm install --save-dev gulp-inject-file

Usage

Project structure:

└── src
    └── main.xml
        └── subitems
            └── child.xml

The target file src/main.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<one>
    <!-- inject: ./subitems/child.xml-->
</one>

The child file src/subitems/child.xml:

<child_record></child_record>

The gulpfile.js:

var gulp = require('gulp');
var injectfile = require("gulp-inject-file");

gulp.task('inject', function () {
    return gulp.src('./src/main.xml')
                .pipe(injectfile({
                    // can use custom regex pattern here
                    // <filename> token will be replaced by filename regex pattern.
                    // do not use capturing groups within your custom regex.
                    // this parameter is optional, default value: '<!--\\s*inject:<filename>-->'
                    pattern: '<!--\\s*inject:<filename>-->'
                }));
});

src/main.xml after running gulp inject:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<one>
    <child_record></child_record>
</one>

The injected file paths are relative to each source file's cwd.
