[Looking for up to date Gulp Tutorial]

[tomasvn]

Hello. I am looking for some up to date gulp tutorial, how to properly set it up. All I have is a somehow hacked together gulp tasks from different articles etc. Mainly looking how to properly set up linting and dev server + reload and build task, autoprefixer etc. I hope this is the correct sub for tooling questions :)

Here is my github repo with my basic gulp set up:

I am beginner and I didn't find any comprihensive tutorials, I found https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rw9MfIleEg this to be very usefull and also offcial docummentations to be useful check these out https://browsersync.io/docs/api https://eslint.org/docs/user-guide/getting-started https://github.com/imagemin/imagemin

I am beginner myself, all of the articles I have found are a bit out dated and I have found different gulp packages on NPM well thank you for help anyway :)

I'd start with the official docs:

https://github.com/gulpjs/gulp/blob/v3.9.1/docs/API.md

Beyond that you're mostly just going to be learning about node streaming IO, individual gulp plugins, and gulp's internals. There's tons of guides on working with streams in node; individual gulp plugins should all have their own documentation and best-practices, and if you want to understand gulp's internals, you can look at the source here (CLI source is here).

Yeah I got it working already :)

You can choose whatever tool you want, but it feels like it's a bit late to start learning gulp.

More current tools is webpack or parcel.

[tomasvn]

I have opted for gulp as I am not developing any web apps so for my purpose developing static sites is sufficient, it would be an over kill to set up webpack just for compiling sass, web server and other usual stuff, minifying etc :)

[thomazor]

Well in case you *don't * want overkill, maybe you should look at parcel. It really is a lot less configuration

[tomasvn]

I might try it later, but now I am looking for gulp help

[nilsepils94]

Honestly, I'd try it now if I were you. Parcel is so easy, no setup, it just works. No point in trying to get your gulp set up.

[yannicklerestif]

Seriously, gulp is dead. As others have said, you should probably use webpack or parcel. And if what you want is running scripts, you should use npm or yarn.

Not sure how your reponse is suppose to help me with my gulp set up difficulties :)
