Using tranform

var append = require('gulp-append');
var nameFromPath = require('name-from-path');

gulp.task('append:transform', () => {
  return gulp.src(
    'README.md'
  ).pipe(append({
      transform: {
        path: function(file) {
          return String(file.path)
        },
        name: function(file) {
          return nameFromPath(file, true);
        }
      }
    }
  ));
});

var gulp = require('gulp');
var append = require('gulp-append');
var nameFromPath = require('name-from-path');

gulp.task('append:transform', () => {
  return gulp.src(
    'README.md'
  ).pipe(append('some/path/to/file.json', {
    transform: {
      path: function(file) {
        return String(file.path)
