Gulp has become the de facto build tool for front-end developers in- and outside of the Drupal community. In this Drupal North session I gave a step-by-step demonstration of how to create the most common Gulp functions by using the scripting functionality that is built directly in NPM package system.
Highlights:
- Removing dependencies for Bower, Ruby, Gulp and Grunt from the build process allows developers to dive right into the process of creating beautiful websites.
- Gulp may still be appropriate for large scale projects with complex configuration needs.
- Writing NPM scripts is easy for anyone with basic command line skills.
