This is depracated now. Please use awesome gulp-inject https://github.com/klei/gulp-inject
Automatically insert script tags (or other file-based tags) in an HTML file. Based on grunt-sails-linker
When the task is run the destination file is updated with script tags pointing to all the source files. The reason this plugin was built was to automate the process of inserting script tags when building large web apps. It can also update multiple files.
npm install gulp-linker --save-dev
In your project's gulpfile.js
use the gulp-linker stream.
var linker = require('gulp-linker'),
// Read templates
gulp.src('templates/*.html')
// Link the JavaScript
.pipe(linker({
scripts: [ "www/js/*.js " ],
startTag: '<!--SCRIPTS-->',
endTag: '<!--SCRIPTS END-->',
fileTmpl: '<script src="%s"></script>',
appRoot: 'www/'
}))
// Write modified files to www/
.pipe(gulp.dest('www/'));
If you use also use gulp.watch or gulp-watch, you are able to write a task that will update your HTML automatically on every change, so you won't have to run the individual task ever again.
