Looking for way to copy files in gulp and rename based on parent directory

Question

For each module I have some files that need to be copied over to the build directory, and am looking for a way to minimize the repeated code from this:

gulp         


        

Answer 1

The best way is to configure your base when sourcing files, like so:

gulp.src('./client/src/modules/**/index.js', {base: './client/src/modules'})
  .pipe(gulp.dest('./build/public/js/'));

This tells gulp to use the modules directory as the starting point for determining relative paths.

(Also, you can use /**/*.js if you want to include all JS files...)
