Question

I\'m using gulp-rev to build static files that I can set to never expire. I\'d like to replace all references to the generated files in index.html to these renamed files, but I

You could do it with gulp-useref like this.

var gulp = require('gulp'),
    useref = require('gulp-useref'),
    filter = require('gulp-filter'),
    uglify = require('gulp-uglify'),
    minifyCss = require('gulp-minify-css'),
    rev = require('gulp-rev');

gulp.task('html', function () {
    var jsFilter = filter('**/*.js');
    var cssFilter = filter('**/*.css');

    return gulp.src('app/*.html')
        .pipe(useref.assets())
        .pipe(jsFilter)
        .pipe(uglify())
        .pipe(rev())
        .pipe(jsFilter.restore())
        .pipe(cssFilter)
        .pipe(minifyCss())
        .pipe(rev())
        .pipe(cssFilter.restore())
        .pipe(useref.restore())
        .pipe(useref())
        .pipe(gulp.dest('dist'));
});

or you could even do it this way:

gulp.task('html', function () {
    var jsFilter = filter('**/*.js');
    var cssFilter = filter('**/*.css');

    return gulp.src('app/*.html')
        .pipe(useref.assets())
        .pipe(rev())
        .pipe(jsFilter)
        .pipe(uglify())
        .pipe(jsFilter.restore())
        .pipe(cssFilter)
        .pipe(minifyCss())
        .pipe(cssFilter.restore())
        .pipe(useref.restore())
        .pipe(useref())
        .pipe(gulp.dest('dist'));
});

The problem is updating the asset paths in the html with the new rev file paths. gulp-useref doesn't do that.
