gulp-david-stylish

A stylish reporter for the gulp-david Gulp plugin

Installing

The reporter can be installed via NPM:

npm install gulp-david-stylish --save-dev

Usage

Setup is rather easy. Please refer to the gulp-david documentation for getting started with the plugin. To use gulp-david-stylish, use the following pattern, or similar:

const { david } = require('@cedx/gulp-david');
const stylish = require('gulp-david-stylish');

gulp.task('deps', (done) => {

  const glob = [
    'package.json',
    '!node_modules'
  ];

  gulp.src(glob)
    .pipe(david({
      reporter: new stylish.Reporter(done)
    }));
});

This breaks from reporter export styles such as jshint-stylish, but follows the patterns set in the default reporter of gulp-david.

You'll notice that we're using a gulp task callback with the done parameter. That parameter is a function which lets gulp know a task is complete. Contrary to just returning the stream, using the done callback will block a task from finishing until it's called. Since gulp-david runs the david module async the task will finish before the reporter has an opportunity to display the results. To combat this (until or if gulp-david is modified) we can pass the done callback to gulp-david-stylish which will call the function when the reporter has completed logging the results.
