Concat scripts in order with Gulp

Question

Say, for example, you are building a project on Backbone or whatever and you need to load scripts in a certain order, e.g. underscore.js needs to be loaded befo

Answer 1

I'm in a module environnement where all are core-dependents using gulp. So, the core module needs to be appended before the others.

What I did:

1. Move all the scripts to an src folder
2. Just gulp-rename your core directory to _core

3. gulp is keeping the order of your gulp.src, my concat src looks like this:

   concat: ['./client/src/js/*.js', './client/src/js/**/*.js', './client/src/js/**/**/*.js']
   

It'll obviously take the _ as the first directory from the list (natural sort?).

Note (angularjs): I then use gulp-angular-extender to dynamically add the modules to the core module. Compiled it looks like this:

angular.module('Core', ["ui.router","mm.foundation",(...),"Admin","Products"])

Where Admin and Products are two modules.
