Add more 'src' files at any point in the pipeline

Installation

npm install gulp-add-src --save-dev

Usage

Works like gulp.src, but you can put it anywhere in your pipeline and it will append the given files to the pipeline.

Example:

var gulp = require('gulp');
var addsrc = require('gulp-add-src');
var coffee = require('gulp-coffee');
var uglify = require('gulp-uglify');

gulp.task('build', function () {
  return gulp.src('files/coffee/*.coffee')   // start with the .coffee files in the project
    .pipe(coffee())                          // compiles coffee script
    .pipe(addsrc('files/js/*.js'))           // we use addsrc to add our .js files to the mix
    .pipe(uglify())                          // we minify everything
    .pipe(gulp.dest('dist'));                // and write to dist
});

If you want add SRC to begining of the SRC array, you can use addsrc.prepend. Or if you want to add SRC to end of the SRC array, you can use addsrc.append. Respectively instead of addsrc.

Example use addsrc.append and addsrc.prepend:

var gulp = require('gulp');
var addsrc = require('gulp-add-src');
var coffee = require('gulp-coffee');
var uglify = require('gulp-uglify');

gulp.task('build.angular', function () {
  return gulp.src('files/coffee/*.coffee')          // start with the .coffee files in the project
    .pipe(coffee())                                 // compiles coffee script
    .pipe(addsrc.prepend('files/js/constants.js'))  // we use `addsrc.prepend` to add our .js files to begining of the SRC array
    .pipe(addsrc.append('files/js/conflict.js'))    // we use `addsrc.append` to add our .js files to end of the SRC array
    .pipe(uglify())                                 // we minify everything
    .pipe(gulp.dest('dist'));                       // and write to dist
});

As an example, this would be useful if you wanted to merge your bower scripts with your app scripts. You'd need your bower scripts to maintain their order (the bower scripts themselves) and make sure they come before your app scripts. In this case, you'd use addsrc.prepend.

Because of the unpredicabilty of addsrc alone, it's recommended to use one of the append/prepend variants. The original is only left in place for legacy reasons.
