gobble-concat-order

Concatenate files in gobble, with an explicit file order.

Installation

I assume you already know the basics of Gobble.

npm i -D gobble-concat-order

Usage

Just as gobble-concat, but with three new options.

gobblefile.js example:

var gobble = require( 'gobble' );
module.exports = gobble( 'js' ).transform( 'concat-order', {
    dest: 'bundle.js',
    before: ['someUtility.js', 'someFramework/*.js', 'myConstants.js'],
    after: ['finalize.js', 'wrap.js'],
    match: {}
});

In this example, the javascript files will be concatenated in the following order: someUtility, files in the someFramework directory, myConstants, everything else, finalize and then wrap.

before and after option

An array of minimatch expressions. These can be plain strings, strings with wildcards, or RegExps.

match option

A set of minimatch options that will be applied to all items in the before and after arrays.

Caveats

• The sort option in gobble-concat is superseded in this gobble-concat-order. Supplying it will have no effect.
• If a file matches more than one expression in either the before or after lists, their position will be that of the first match.
• If more than one file match the same expression, they will be sorted alphabetically.
