"gulp-load-plugins" is a valuable tool that automatically loads any gulp plugins listed in your package.json file. The plugin grabs these dependencies and binds them to an object of your choice, streamlining your workflow by saving you from manually having to require each plugin. With the "gulp-load-plugins" package, you can centralize your project's dependencies and simplify your gulpfile.js.
To use "gulp-load-plugins", you first need to install it via npm or Yarn. For npm, use the command npm install --save-dev gulp-load-plugins and for Yarn, use yarn add -D gulp-load-plugins.
Once installed, require "gulp-load-plugins" in your Gulpfile.js. Here is a basic example:
const gulp = require('gulp');
const gulpLoadPlugins = require('gulp-load-plugins');
const plugins = gulpLoadPlugins();
Or in an even shorter format:
const gulp = require('gulp');
const plugins = require('gulp-load-plugins')();
Assuming you have certain gulp plugins like gulp-jshint or gulp-concat in your package.json, they will be loaded and can be accessed as following:
plugins.jshint = require('gulp-jshint');
plugins.concat = require('gulp-concat');
Instead of using require('gulp-plugin') each time, you can simply use plugins.plugin().
"gulp-load-plugins" is highly customizable and supports a wide range of options such as DEBUG, pattern, scope, lazy loading, renaming, and more. You can look at the plugin's documentation to understand and tune these options according to your project's needs.
The comprehensive documentation for "gulp-load-plugins" can be found on the package's GitHub page: https://github.com/jackfranklin/gulp-load-plugins.
