GULP Migration

WARNING

This is probably only for LABOR staff, as the gulp file never was open source.

To convert your old projects is probably a rather big step, but in most cases, it will be worth it. In contrast to the old "GULP" approach, this package aims to provide a "meta-configuration" which is agnostic to the real implementation of the package generation. So instead of the problems we had with GULP, where we could never update our sources without a rewrite of our configuration, you can easily update the asset-builder package and use the latest version.

Anyway, before you start to convert your projects, it is highly recommended to check out the rest of this documentation, as it will explain a lot by itself.

In addition to that:

• When you are converting the "jsConfig":
  • copy the value jsConfig -> baseDir, add "/application.js" behind it and paste it as js -> entry.
  • copy the value jsConfig -> distDir add "bundle.js" behind it and paste it as js -> output
  • When porting from a gulpfile v2.0.8 or higher "jsConfig" will be named "webpackConfig".
  • When porting from a gulpfile less than v2.0.8 there additional changes will be required, because you need to introduce node-imports, as they will no longer be auto-resolved
  • Make sure you remove no longer needed files, like: first.js, last.js, base.framework.js, base.last.js and jQuery-3.2.1.js
• When you are converting the "cssConfig":
  • copy the value cssConfig -> baseDir, add "/application.(sass/less/scss)" behind it and paste it as css -> entry.
  • copy the value cssConfig -> distDir add cssConfig -> distName in addition of ".css" behind it and paste it as css -> output
• There is no replacement for "fontConfig", you probably want to use "copy" for that now.
• To convert "fileCopyConfig":
  • copy your contents of fileCopyConfig -> files to copy -> from
  • copy the contents of fileCopyConfig -> distDir to copy -> to
  • Make sure to check the copy -> flatten option if required.
