option for destination filename

[JimmyHurrah]

In bless you have the option to specify the output file name which enables you to write to the same directory as your original file without overwriting it.

I added a destinationFilename property to the options object to enable this.

Thanks a lot but notice this in the readme:

Warning: gulp-bless has changed a lot since 1.0.0

• It no longer concatenates all files that come down the pipeline.
• fileName can no longer be passed directly to the plugin itself.

It suits the Gulp way of things a lot more not to take a fileName parameter.

enables you to write to the same directory as your original file

To put something back in the directory it came from, you could do this:

gulp.src('./a/b/c/*.css', {base: './a/b/c'})
    .pipe(bless())
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./'))

Or of course (if all the files come from the one directory):

gulp.src('./a/b/c/*.css')
    .pipe(bless())
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./a/b/c'))

But this plugin doesn't output the same filename as the original so it wouldn't be overriden? It appends -blessed, right?

gulp-rename is really powerful too. You can rename the entire filename, add a prefix, suffix, etc.

Oh, sorry about that.

But this plugin doesn't output the same filename as the original so it wouldn't be overriden? It appends -blessed, right?

It only appended on the extracted files not the one holding the includes using the code below:

  gulp.src('Public/Css/main.css')
    .pipe(bless({ imports: true, }))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('Public/Css/');

I ended up using gulp-rename which, as you point out, feels more gulp.

Ah ok, good to know. bless.js appends the suffix, so I can't really control it.

That's good 😄. The great thing about Gulp plugins is they're meant to do one thing and do it well.
